Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Communicate with reasonable accuracy in familiar contexts on familiar topics in an elementary level (A1) in Portuguese.
- Understand broadly the context of Portuguese-speaking cultures and language nuances (from Brazil, Portugal and Lusophone Africa).
- Assess straightforward spoken and written information about familiar everyday, study or work related topics, identifying both general messages and specific details.
- Develop effective communication, presentation and interaction skills across a range of media, on both a spontaneous and prepared basis.
- The acquisition of a basic language competence and a vocabulary of 600/700 words should be expected to allow the oral and written production of simple phrases, and to understand short passages where the context is clear and identified.
