Abstract:

Working Portuguese enables English speakers with no prior knowledge of 
Brazilian Portuguese to develop the basic communication skills and cultural 
knowledge needed to visit Brazil and to function in a work environment in 
which Portuguese is spoken. This language program presents not only all the 
situations and grammar normally covered in an elementary Portuguese 
textbook but also includes situations set in a business context in every 
lesson.

Major Features:
- Twenty-four lessons, the last four concluding with a special independent 
project in which the student applies the language to his or her area of 
professional interest
- Clear objectives for acquiring language skills, grammar, and cultural 
understanding
- Lessons cover the important basics normally covered in any beginning 
Portuguese textbook such as introductions and greetings, counting, making 
travel plans, taking public transportation, and asking for directions
- Lessons cover business tasks such as negotiating a contract, presenting a 
new product, writing a business memo - all in Brazilian Portuguese
- Lessons provide dialogues and vocabulary lists for reading and listening, 
grammar, cultural reading, and interactive homework
- Portuguese-English and English-Portuguese glossaries offer additional help 
with vocabulary
- Course can be combined with affordable online access to self-grading 
exercises (available through Quia.com, $24.95 per student for 18 months of 
access)

Student's Book
- Includes MP3 tracks of vocabulary, dialogues, and audio exercises on CD
- Lessons are valuable to the classroom student as well as self-directed 
independent learners

Teacher's Edition
- Includes a CD-ROM with all MP3 tracks of vocabulary, dialogues, and audio 
exercises found on the student's disk
- CD-ROM also provides quizzes and a midterm, materials for special 
activities, and approximately 300 supplementary PowerPoint slides for 
classroom presentation

to their instructor, and receive automatic feedback
- Teachers can also use Quia templates to build their own exercises or use 
exercises developed by other instructors to provide added help for students
