IV VariaR International Seminar
Teaching Portuguese around the world
The fourth international seminar VariaR took place on September 30, 2024, in partnership with researchers Andreea Teletin (Universitatea din București) and Adriana Ciama (Universitatea din București) at the University of Bucharest, with a Zoom broadcast. The purpose of this space is to bring together researcher-speakers, researchers and teachers interested in the conferences around questions that serve as a starting point for approaching the seminar's central theme - Portuguese teaching in the world:
Teaching Portuguese inside and outside Brazil:
What are the characteristics of teaching in the community/country in which you work?
What training programmes are involved in teaching Portuguese?
What is the profile of the students/teachers?
What is the basic concept of grammar/variation? What variety is taught? How is variation dealt with in the classroom? With what content/materials/corpora?
What are the new challenges for teaching Portuguese, bearing in mind, among other things, the relationship between technology, society, diplomacy and transculturality?
For the operationalisation context:
What image of Portuguese do you deal with?
What official documents are there to guide the teaching of native and non-native Portuguese?
What priority is given to text and discourse as objects of configuration in the Portuguese classroom?
What bridges have been built between research, teaching and/or activism in society?
Date: 30 September 2024
