CELPE-BRAS: CONFECÇÃO DE MATERIAL DIDÁTICO

Abstract

The Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese for Foreigners (Celpe-Bras) is granted by MEC to foreigners with a satisfactory performance in the Portuguese language.Although the Federal University of Ouro Preto has been receiving an increasing number of foreign students and professors, there is not an adequate course to prepare students to take the exam.This project was conducted in order to develop materials with several didactic sequences to help students become prepared to obtain this certificate.The material was developed following the communicative approach proposed by authors like Brown (2001), Almeida Filho (1993), and Widdowson (1978), among others.
