Students will continue to expand their vocabulary and develop their fluency in Portuguese, both written and oral. This course builds on previously acquired language skills. Emphasis is on vocabulary expansion, accuracy of expression, and interactive language use. This course is a continuation of RL 123. Students will expand their vocabulary and develop written and oral fluency.
Emphasis is on active student participation and broadening historical and cultural knowledge.
This course is designed for students who have studied abroad and international students. It offers them an opportunity to deepen their experience by reading the thoughts of other travelers through history and by writing about and discussing their own adventure. Our focus will be on cross-cultural experience and the analysis of world view. We will look comparatively at concepts concerning work, citizenship, relationship and spirituality, drawing on literary texts, with particular emphasis on travel literature and culture criticism.
