Abstract (EN):
This paper presents the course Introduction to Portuguese, delivered as a Language Massive Open
Online Course (LMOOC) in the AcademiaUP platform, and the evaluation of the results of its 1st edition.
The course does not require previous knowledge in Portuguese and aims to equip participants, with
varied profiles, with the necessary tools to communicate in basic everyday situations. It consists of
8 learning units based on a story that is divided into 8 episodes filmed in a natural environment in Porto,
from which a didactic path is proposed that seeks to respond to different learning styles and to guarantee
the adequacy to the individual pace of each student. Students who successfully complete the course
are given a certificate of participation. The 1st edition of the course had 864 students, with a 30%
completion rate and a final course evaluation of 9.31/10. Taking these positive indicators as a starting
point, we evaluate the course, identifying some of its strengths and challenges it faces.
