This course description explains how we run the course in practice. The syllabus should provide good guidance, but is not exhaustive. Further clarification, either verbal or written, will be provided by the teacher during the course. Do not hesitate to ask the teacher if you have any questions about how to carry out various tasks. To find out which teachers are teaching the course, and for information about the schedule and examination dates, please see ‘Schedule’. For information on literature lists, see ‘Course literature’. The course unit Written Proficiency focuses on improving your ability to write texts in Portuguese with an emphasis on academic written genres. You will read and practise producing different written genres. You will receive feedback on your texts from both teachers and fellow students, and you will also read and discuss the texts of your fellow students.
