| Course Description: | |
| Portuguese 5-6 is a third-year language and culture course intended to move students to an intermediate-low to intermediate-mid level of language proficiency. The acquisition of new vocabulary and grammar structures continues, with more sophisticated words and phrases and complex verb and sentence constructions being introduced. Short literary works written in the target language are also introduced at this level, with students reading short stories, essays, and excerpts from longer works of literature. Writing assignments are frequent and vary in length depending on the topic. Students continue to develop an understanding and appreciation of Portuguese culture, both as an integrated part of the learning process and through targeted cultural topics in the textbook’s units of study. | |
