Teaching Methodologies
Although there will be some moments in the classes with a focus on a theoretical approach to the syllabus, more active activities will be privileged, aiming not only a more global participation of the students but also the practice and development of the several necessary skills in a foreign language learning and consolidation process. Therefore, discussion moments, group tasks, and the use of digital platforms of interaction will be proposed as classroom activities.
