Description

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the dynamics and challenges of teaching Portuguese in China, particularly in Macao and Mainland China. This insightful study delves into the historical, socio-economic, and educational contexts that shape the learning experiences of native Chinese speakers.

The book is structured in four chapters: the contextualization of the study, Chinese learner' profiles, Portuguese proficiency, and the dynamics of student mobility in the twenty-first century. In addition to a comparative analysis of data from Macao and Mainland China, the authors-through detailed surveys and examples of common errors-offer valuable recommendations for improving pedagogical practices and enhancing language proficiency.

This comprehensive study is highly relevant, as it addresses the growing importance of Portuguese in China's educational landscape, driven by historical ties and increasing economic and cultural exchanges between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.
