Portuguese I

N/A

The classes are based on the explanation of the issues and concepts, as well as clarification of questions during theoretical and practical approach. Throughout the exposition of the theoretical contents, will be discussed examples of exercises relating to levels of pre-school and school, in content III of the syllabus. We will use PowerPoint slides during expository moments of theoretical knowledge in order to combine visual and auditory memory for better optimization of knowledge. We will use active methodologies through group work and we will use grammar textbooks.
