The team is committed to lifelong learning of educators and teachers in the field of Portuguese language and development, by promoting accredited long and short duration courses on different topics, articulated with teachers’ practices, during the academic year.
The team is also committed to conducting research in oral and written language development, in language education and in predictors of reading and writing achievement, and it integrates small groups of students in optional curricular seminars offered to students enrolled in Bachelor and Master degrees in Language Sciences. These offer an opportunity for students to collaborate in different research tasks (data coding, transcription, analyses, small research projects).
