Learning outcomes
At the end of this module, students should be able to reach Level B2 of the Portuguese language proficiency levels described in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Course contents
The course intends to introduce some fundamentals of contemporary linguistics and sociolinguistics with the aim of deepening some syntactic constructions characteristic of Brazilian Portuguese. The goal is to contribute to the practice of linguistic reflection through the research and study of the grammatical phenomena that shape the linguistic system of Portuguese, comparing and discussing the normative-prescriptive rules and the real use of the language by Brazilians.
The course will be accompanied by practical exercises, by mother tongue teachers, whose purpose will be to develop the students' communication skills according to the parameters provided for this specific year by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The oral exam is a conversation with the language teacher to test students' communicative skills. The final mark is an average of the mark of these three components.
