PORT 100 - Beginning Portuguese

Credits: 3
Planned Offering: Not offered in 2010-2011

Prerequisite: Permission of the Director of the Program in Environmental Studies or Head of Department of Romance Languages.This course is designed to help prepare students in Portuguese language proficiency for participation in the U.S./Brazil Consortium for Environmental Studies, a federally funded Washington and Lee University exchange program with the Universidade do Amazonas and the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense. Basic language skills are taught in preparation for a Portuguese language immersion course taught in Brazil as part of the exchange program. The immersion course focuses on language skills required for environmental studies. The course does not fulfill any part of the FL or GE2 language requirements. First priority is given to students participating in the FIPSE/CAPES exchange program or other relevant programs in Brazil (Watson Fellowships, Global Stewardship internships, Fulbright Fellowships, approved internship programs, etc.). Other students are eligible for participation in the program on a space-available basis. In addition to the exchange students, a limited number of students will be eligible to participate in the intensive course in Brazil, at their own expense.Staff
