Description
Making use of
Dicionario do viajante insolito by Brazilian writer Moacyr Scliar as a point of departure,
Viajando aims to help students develop reading comprehension and
oral and written comprehension of Portuguese, filling a much needed void
as a reader or complementary intermediate text.
Features
The book is divided into
26 units (one for each letter of the alphabet) each presents a story or
cronica and 1) pre-reading exercises to encourage students to
converse 2) post-reading activities to be done individually or in groups
3) grammar and vocabulary review. Students are also encouraged to write
about their own travel experiences, and to reflect on Brazilian culture,
as well as American.
Market
Intermediate (to advanced intermediate) Portuguese Language and Portuguese and Brazilian Studies. Third year and above.
