Implantando PLAC em Caicó/RN: o ensino de língua portuguesa para refugiados venezuelanos

Abstract

With the recent increase in the flow of refugee immigrants to Brazil, a process has emerged in recent years in this country whereby the Portuguese language has become a necessity for several people who came here to seek asylum or refuge. This research paper aims to show, through a brief experience report, the realization of a Portuguese course as a host language, offered to a group of Venezuelan refugees hosted by the NGO SOS Aldeias Infantis, in Caicó - RN. Our main objective was to show some of the methods and activities used, besides the main difficulties found in this action. According to Gomes de Matos (2014), teachers can practice simple positive actions that make them humanizing agents, such as knowing their students' stories, expectations, and desires. Based on this Peace Linguistics, we saw that, in fact, the affective dimension of the discursive beings involved in the process played an important role in the success of this project
