Teaching method

The Curricular Unit is organized in weekly modules, according to the syllabus.
Each module has the following format: video lessons presenting the contents of the syllabus, the description of examples, the formulation of problems, among others; different resources (summaries, schemata, tables, images, adapted materials, etc.); bibliographic references and links to online references.
E-learning

Evaluation method

Assessment includes various activities (e.g. the evaluation and adaptation of existing resources for the teaching of Portuguese as second/foreign language), which are to be accomplished throughout the semester. A final assignment will provide a global assessment of both the knowledge and skills acquired by the students in adapting and creating materials for the teaching of Portuguese as a second/foreign language.
