Portuguese II focuses on oral expression, listening comprehension, reading and writing in Portuguese. Students will approach these skills with a constant awareness of the cultural implications of language production. Students will learn practical vocabulary drawn from realistic situations, literature, and other cultural texts. Students will develop their cultural awareness of Portuguese-speaking societies and cultures, and focus on the Portuguese-speaking cultures of New England, particularly of Massachusetts, and there will be intentional focus on developing community engagement with those cultures. The course is designed for students with prior knowledge of Portuguese: Portuguese I or equivalent. The class is conducted in Portuguese as much as possible, using English only as necessary for clarity and efficiency.
