Portuguese Advanced Conversation and Composition
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this advanced Portuguese language course focused on building vocabulary, oral fluency, and critical reading and writing skills. Students engage with readings, discussions, and compositions centered on cultural and current issues in Lusophone societies, with an emphasis on contemporary Brazil. The course materials include readings, discussion topics, and writing assignments designed to push learners beyond intermediate proficiency toward more nuanced expression in Portuguese. As with other MIT OpenCourseWare offerings, the course is free to access, includes the syllabus and assignments used in MIT's classroom version, and carries no certificate. It suits learners who already have a solid grounding in Portuguese and want structured practice in extended conversation and formal writing rather than beginner grammar instruction.
