Teaching language

Portuguese

Objectives

This course has as a goal the consideration and discussion of language as a way of accessing thought, the representation of the world and human relations. To this end, it encourages a reflection on the formative-cognitive and affective values of language, while stimulating the students' grammatical, discursive, pragmatic and sociocultural skills. Finally, it aims to offer a theoretical-practical contact with techniques of oral and written expression that can be applied to a wide variety of communicative situations.

Learning outcomes and competences

The theoretical analysis of the components and modalities of the communicative act, combined with practical exercises on various forms of oral and written expression, will allow students to develop a greater ability to elaborate and adapt their speech, as well as to broaden their pragmatic and sociocultural skills, as necessary for academic work as they are for life in society.

Eligibility for exams

With the exception of student workers and those with special educational needs, all must attend at least 75% of classes in order to pass the course. A number of unjustified absences above 25% will therefore imply failure with the classification “RFF” (“failed due to lack of attendance”).

Calculation formula of final grade

Assessment will be the result of the average between the following components, both of which are mandatory: essay (30%) and exam (70%). The non-fulfillment, by any student, of one of the evaluation components will imply the failure of the curricular unit with the classification “RFC” (“failed due to lack of component”). In addition, any attempt at plagiarism or copying will result in the attribution of the score of 0 to the assessment component in which it is detected, as well as the failure of the curricular unit with the classification "RFR" ("failed for fraud").

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

In addition to the exemption from attending classes, the worker-student statute provides for a special assessment regime which, in the case of this curricular unit, is as follows: the student is exempt from the component of the essay, whereas the exam is worth 100% of the grade.
