PORT 035 PZ -Portuguese Virtual Learning Comm

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course is based on a virtual learning community for linguistic and cultural exchange in Portuguese and English. Students are paired up with a conversation partner at the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto in Minas Gerais and/or the Steve Biko Cultural Institute, a racial justice grassroots organization in Bahia. Students connect with their Brazilian partners on their own schedule, using social media and video platforms to practice their written and oral skills while gaining insights into cultural aspects, current events, and ongoing discussions happening in Brazil and in the United States. The course is student driven, allowing students to develop an organic partnership with their Brazilian peers and to share topics and materials according to their own needs and interests.
