This course is a brief introduction to language policy studies and the cultural implications of studying foreign languages. We will focus on linguistic policies for the dissemination and affirmation of the Portuguese language around the world and the relationship between culture and teaching of Portuguese as foreign/additional language. We are going to discuss some political actions of the Portugal metropolis in relation to its colonies, especially in Brazil. We will also discuss the geography of the Portuguese language, the nature of linguistic variation and its cultural relations and, finally, culture and language. We aim at introducing the students to a panorama of Portuguese linguistic colonization, particularly in Brazil; provoking a reflection on the management of plurilingualism / pluricentrism; and motivating students to reflect on the theoretical questions that emerge from the construction of linguistic and cultural identity. |
