Formación lingüística de portugués para inmigrantes en el sur de Brasil (Portuguese language training for immigrants in the south of Brazil)

“As a student of Letters, our course covers topics related to language teaching for non-native speakers, such as the subject of Topics in Applied Linguistics, which gives us a perspective on the social importance of the teacher and his or her activism in education, especially in the field of language.  Furthermore, we are aware of the need to address the themes of the 2030 Agenda in our studies, research and actions, so that this knowledge reaches schools, since language is a fundamental component in the process of transforming society. Additionally, the University of Passo Fundo has other projects, such as the Migrant Balcony and the Sérgio Vieira de Mello Chair, which provide important information on the 2030 Agenda and other local demands. In this context, my desire to contribute in a meaningful way to the regional society, together with my experience in the university environment and my previous incipient experiences in teaching Portuguese to immigrants, inspired me to participate in Impulso Joven. When our professors presented the proposal, I felt very motivated to participate, knowing that as a student, I can make a difference in the lives of many people. Very motivated to carry out this work, with the support of our course and the University of Passo Fundo, we gathered a group of students and professors to elaborate the proposal, which to our joy was selected. We are even more motivated to move forward with the project because, although we have limited resources, we already have actions underway, such as a group that is studying Portuguese. There are 20 students from 9 different countries, from Latin America and Africa, and 5 languages are used in the classes. Knowing that this environment of collaboration, learning and fraternity can be expanded is a great inspiration to continue.”
