Learning a new language can be a challenge, but it’s also an opportunity to grow and connect with new cultures and people. With this in mind, our course – Portuguese for Non-Native Speakers (PLNM) – is designed for students who wish to be integrated into the Portuguese education system. It is designed to facilitate their full integration and foster their success in the school environment. The PLNM program is designed to meet the individual needs of each student, taking into account their level of proficiency in the Portuguese language. Thus, students are integrated into small groups in which personalised support is provided in the main subject areas and Portuguese classes. Oral and written communication are the primary focus while listening and reading comprehension are also emphasised.
