As metodologias e ferramentas sao pautadas em abordagens que possam facilitar a aquisicao de uma nova lingua atraves de recursos tecnologicos e analogicos utilizando filmes, series, jogos e musicas, tomando como motivador os frutos ja observaveis nas oficinas realizadas no Armindo. Dessa forma, esperamos atraves desse projeto aperfeicoar as habilidades linguisticas dos alunos, uma vez que acreditamos na aprendizagem continua da lingua de maneira autodidata, tendo em vista as metodologias abordadas nas salas de aula.
