Abstract

The project aims to develop the teaching of Portuguese as a foreign language in France through dialogues with cultural productions in literature, theater, visual arts, Brazilian music and cinema, as well as with essays, reports and articles that help us understand contemporary Brazilian issues, such as the challenges of sustainable development and democracy. In a multi-resource approach, we will encourage the use of language to carry out actions in the world, in line with the principles of the Celpe-Bras exam, with a focus on authentic cultural contexts.
