Using authentic assessment and outreach activity to upskill students studying Portuguese

Researcher: Ana Bela Almeida

Final year students studying Portuguese work in teams to create 'Portuguese language taster' presentations in the target language. These offer an overview of the language, its cultures, and the students' experiences of living in a Lusophone country during their year abroad. This is assessed in class, and is part of a peer-review process, before students are given the option to present an English-language version in local schools.
