Meeting Description:

TROPO UK - The Association for Teachers and Researchers of Portuguese in the
UK - is pleased to announce its 1st Annual Conference on the theme of
‘Português Língua Global’ that will take place on Saturday, the 15 June 2019
at King’s College London.


Call for Papers:

In this one-day event, we want to acknowledge Portuguese as a global language
given the number of speakers and its geographical reach as well as reflect on
the specificities of its variants. The aim of the conference is to provide a
forum for researchers and teachers to present and discuss current studies in
linguistics, language acquisition, literary and cultural studies, learning and
teaching methodology and their possible links to classroom practice. The
conference seeks to contribute to suitably informed teaching and also to serve
as a platform for practitioners to report back on the rich and meaningful
everyday practices that they have put in place.

The conference will be an opportunity for sharing excellent or innovative
research and practice in teaching and learning Portuguese. We welcome
pedagogic research and practical case studies on aspects of Portuguese
teaching and learning at all levels of education from pre-school to Higher
Education, including community schools. Additionally, we invite submissions
for research papers on any aspect of linguistics, language acquisition and
literary and cultural studies with potential implications for the teaching of
Portuguese as additional, foreign, heritage or second language.

Sub-themes of the conference:

- One global language, several variants: classroom challenges and how to
address them.
- Reflection on teaching language and culture or language through culture,
including using literary texts, films and CLIL.
- Design and evaluation of textbooks and other teaching materials, including
digital resources.
- Effective methodologies and L&T approaches to Portuguese, including
student-centred learning, active learning and task-based language teaching.
- Uses and effectiveness of technologies in language learning and teaching,
including online autonomous language learning.
- Effective programme and syllabus design.
- Assessment for learning and assessment of learning, including international
proficiency exams of Portuguese as a Foreign Language (CELPE-Bras and CAPLE).

- Policies in the promotion, projection and diffusion of Portuguese and
cultures of Portuguese-speaking countries.
