Rationale of the Handbook Volume III This handbook is the third volume in a series entitled Connecting World Language Curriculum to Global Workplace Skills. The first two volumes focused on examples of K-12 Spanish for Specific Purposes. While there are a multitude of general Portuguese language resources, the curriculum for Portuguese for Specific Purposes is still lacking.

Hence, this handbook has been created as an effort to share what some US-based instructors are doing in their classrooms at the K-16 level to connect Portuguese and the workplace. We thank all of those who worked on this endeavor and have generously shared their materials.

Another goal of this handbook is to revive interest in this area so that others will share their work on the value of Portuguese for careers, whether it be through conference presentations, journal

submission, or sharing on social media. As world languages are regularly being scrutinized within campus offerings, demonstrating the relevance for students in their future work life is just as important as the teaching of literature.

While there is a US-based focus in this publication, we hope that the activities provided by colleagues will inspire others to integrate and adapt new content in their classes and think about developing more through a variety of venues. We also encourage you to discover ways to connect to professional communities tied to Portuguese and LSP. Staying informed on general LSP news and resources across any language can help with ideas for Portuguese. A list of ideas and resources follow below.

STEPS FOR LESSON ACTIVITY

1

After a brief oral warm-up about what kind of elements people use to communicate with one another, the instructor presents a series of images related to different types of non-verbal communication gestures. Students need to try to identify what the image means, what message the speaker is trying to convey.

2

Students will watch a video explaining the gestures/pictures they just saw. Their task is to interpret the video and also discuss with a partner their perceptions/findings.

3

After students check their answers (accountability), students are asked to orally compare the gestures they saw and learned about, with possible equivalent forms present in any of the languages they already know.

4

Students are provided with visual materials explaining the examples of non-verbal communication pieces. Their job is to read and discuss the meaning with a partner.

5

After discussing, students report their findings and opinions to the large group and instructor.

6

Student will get the chance to simulate a brief dialogue incorporating the gestures they have learned (pairwork/ groupwork). While students do that, the instructor will walk around assisting students with comprehension/ vocabulary questions. All questions/answers will be written on the board so all other groups have access to the information as well.

7

After creating their dialogue in groups/pairs, students will present the results to the class.

Students will receive a series of websites to browse. Their task is to find visual/written cues that will help them determine with type of food each restaurant serves (pairwork/groupwork).

4

After students check their answers (accountability), the instructor briefly transitions to the next activity by asking can food be ordered nowadays. Over the phone, online, on the restaurant’s website, through an online application.

The group and instructor can elicit information on which applications are available in the U.S. where someone can order food online (e.g Uber Eats, DoorDash).

The instructor introduces the app/website Brazilians commonly use to order food online: Ifood. Students will read a short text about the online platform and answer comprehension questions orally such as: When was the app founded? How many users does that app have at the moment? Why is the app different from other food ordering options?

STEPS FOR LESSON ACTIVITY

1

As a warm-up, ask students how many currently work or how many have worked while taking classes. Ask them to share their experiences and then introduce the topic of the first reading, where a college student is looking for a job.

2

(Exercise #1) Students will read the text and answer the questions. Note that some questions are to be answered individually, while others as a group. The goal is for them to reflect individually, then share their answers, starting to build arguments to justify the decision on the ideal job for a college student.

3

(Exercises #2a and #2b) Ask students to read another short text that explains the job of a telemarketing operator and introduces them to a script of a call to sell credit cards. This activity asks students to reflect on possible questions individually they would ask if they were to receive such a call.

4

(Exercises #2c and #2d) In pairs, students will develop a dialog using the phone call script and add questions and answers between the client and the operator.

5

(Exercises #3a, #3b, #3c) After reading and creating based on a model of a phone call script in the previous steps.

Students will now start creating their scripts from scratch. First, think about all the characteristics of the product or service to be offered and then create a rough draft of a script for a phone call. Students should not be concerned about length but about having the most information about the product or service at this stage.

6

(Exercise #3d) The students should submit the rough draft to the teacher. Here is an opportunity for students to self-correct and learn from their mistakes. The teacher can correct the draft by providing the corrections or mark the issues and return the draft for the students to identify and correct their mistakes. This practice helps them notice the issues (repeated or not) they make when writing in Portuguese. If that is the choice, students and teacher should review the errors and corrections at least twice. The teacher should also note the content of the draft and ensure that students develop the information about the product and service.

7

(Exercise #3e) Now that students have their draft corrected and with all information necessary, they need to adjust their script to the time assigned for the presentation. The suggested time is 30 seconds, as the script does not contemplate questions and answers. Students will do it by reading the text aloud, timing themselves, editing, and deleting the text while maintaining relevance for the client receiving the call to be informed. Make sure the students practice the text multiple times. After a few practices and ensuring the script is within the time assigned, announce to the students that they will present it to the class and answer questions without reading it.

Although memorization cannot be avoided, after so many reviews and edits, students should be able to talk about their products without a guide. If not during the script, this knowledge acquired and the ability to speak about something they are familiar with will be shown during the Q&A part of the assignment.

8

(Exercise #3f and #3g) Each student will present their script, and the ones not presenting will have the task of writing questions about the product or service, and ask these questions, and evaluating the presentation and preparedness of their colleagues following the rubric given to them.

9

Students submit their evaluation and vote for the best presentation, justifying their choice.

10

The result can be announced to the class, and some feedback can be shared.
