Elementary Portuguese II

In this continuation of PRT105: Elementary Portuguese I, students will enhance their Portuguese reading, writing, speaking and comprehension skills through active class use of vocabulary, grammar, and cultural materials.This course offers students an opportunity to work on their grammar, composition and oral comprehension in Portuguese. The course’s balanced, four-skills approach endeavors to prepare students to use the language in a natural way for communication in a variety of situations. It emphasizes the use of language for oral communication, developed and supplemented by readings or Portuguese-language texts, without neglecting the other basic language skills. This class will use reading and writing activities to extend students’ grasp of vocabulary and grammatical structures and to further their comprehension of and ability to express themselves in Portuguese. Activities will be largely devoted to providing practice through form-based and communicative activities.
