- Case study of a project-based learning experience at the Polytechnic of Viseu, PortugalPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Amante, Susana; Costa, Cristina Amaro Da; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Coutinho, Emília; Fidalgo, Susana; Gillain, Romain; Lopez, Patricia; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Relvas, Susana; Roush, PaulaPedagogical innovation is at the centre of higher education (HE) priorities, with a view to renewing its practices and thus motivating students and providing experiences in line with their professional context. Improvement in foreign languages (FL), especially with students who are not likely to receive further language training, requires awareness of this query, inasmuch as competences in FL in the work environment are unanimously recognized as vital and so rightly included in the training plans. The project-based learning approach in an interdisciplinary and collaborative work perspective, using multimodality in communication, is a consistent asset that allows for work to be carried out, comprising the various dimensions of language in French and English, in their connections with cognitive representations. JASM (Open window onto the world: foreign languages, multimodal creativity and pedagogical innovation in higher education) project aims to develop an experience of active pedagogy at the School of Education of Viseu from the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal)with undergraduate students in Media Studies enrolled in the various FL curricular units. Among the subjects of the study plan, students work on photography, digital art and cultural communication. The students start off by collecting information on the cultural and linguistic diversity of the city of Viseu (Beira Alta, Portugal). The project enhances the acquisition of multilingual skills and the development of plurilingual awareness, due to the attention given to the various dimensions of language (aesthetic and emotional, in addition to cognitive), in a creative, collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment. Based on an interview, students write the story (in French and English) of the life of migrants. Through captioned photographs, students highlight the aspect of the migrant’s family life which stands out the most. Based on an object (associated with religion, a tradition or with a ritual), students create an animated film, also in both languages (exploration of material culture and digital scenography). The outcome of such productions will be the subject of publications on social media, exhibitions, also being displayed at events and in an e-book. In this project, the topic of interdisciplinarity is highlighted, combining FL with digital art. The evolution, both of the students’ learning and of the teachers’ role in the whole process, is assessed, using tests carried out at the beginning and at the end of the project, including monitoring in the middle of the development of the project.
- O contributo dos manuais de Português para as práticas de leitura literária - percursos de análise no 1.º CEBPublication . Melão, Dulce; Silva, Ana Isabel; Amante, Susana; Castelo, Adelina; Matos, Isabel Aires; Balula, João PauloÉ reconhecido que o processo de avaliação e certificação dos manuais escolares implicou um conjunto significativo de mudanças na reorganização dos mesmos. Relativamente aos manuais de Português destinados ao 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico (1.º CEB), tais mudanças repercutiram-se, sobretudo, no reajustamento dos domínios da Oralidade, da Leitura e Escrita, da Gramática e da Educação Literária. Tendo como quadro teórico de referência o cruzamento da reconceptualização da Educação Literária no Programa e Metas Curriculares de Português (2015) com o desenvolvimento de estratégias didáticas de ensino da compreensão na leitura, traçámos os seguintes objetivos: i) analisar o modo como as atividades propostas nos manuais promovem o cumprimento dos objetivos do domínio da Educação Literária em articulação com a compreensão na leitura; ii) compreender que repercussões terão tais opções para a reconstrução conjunta, de docentes e de alunos(as), de itinerários de leitura que possibilitem cultivar o gosto pela mesma. Relativamente às opções metodológicas, a nossa abordagem foi de natureza qualitativa, tendo sido selecionados três manuais do 1.º CEB adaptados ao Programa e Metas Curriculares de Português. Recorremos à técnica da análise de conteúdo para o estabelecimento de categorias a posteriori, de modo a podermos compreender que tipo de atividades os manuais privilegiam e quais as razões que subjazem a tal escolha. Concluímos que as atividades propostas, embora contribuam para a promoção da Educação Literária, se articulam, por vezes, de forma débil, com o desenvolvimento da compreensão na leitura, o que poderá repercutir-se nos itinerários de leitura partilhados em contexto escolar.
- Creation of non-linear storytelling as a tool for learning foreign languages in higher education in PortugalPublication . Costa, Ana Maria; Costa, Cristina Amaro Da; Coutinho, Emília; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Lopez Garcia, Patricia; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Relvas, Susana; Delplancq, VéroniqueEm 2019/20, nasceu, sob as restrições da COVID-19, o projeto Stepping up to Global Challenges: Empowering Students across the World. As docentes de Inglês de Negócios II (Marketing/ESTG/IPV) ofereceram aos seus alunos oportunidades reais de comunicação em língua inglesa, através de atividades baseadas em tarefas e do recurso a plataformas digitais, em colaboração com pares da Kazimierz Pulaski UTH (Polónia) e da Ege Üniversitesi (Turquia). A segunda edição do projeto decorreu no 2.o semestre de 2020/21, também em cenário de pandemia, e foi, por isso mesmo, dedicada à aprendizagem do inglês através de atividades de combate ao isolamento e de promoção de comportamentos responsáveis, por alunos de Enfermagem da ESS/IPV, de Marketing da ESTG/IPV, da ES de Eletrónica e de Filologia Inglesa da UTH e de vários cursos da Ege Üniversitesi. Neste artigo, pretendemos: a) discutir as vantagens da aprendizagem do inglês recorrendo ao Project-Based Learning (PBL), através de um olhar sobre o exemplo concreto do projeto Stepping Up to Global Challenges (SGC) 2: Learning English while fighting the outbreak of Covid-19; b) apresentar alguns produtos resultantes do trabalho de co-construção de conhecimento em ambientes multiculturais e, mais importante ainda, interculturais. Lançar-se-á um olhar sobre as narrativas de alunos de contextos diferenciados, desde os cursos frequentados; às instituições distintas e, algumas, distantes; às vivências culturais necessariamente diferentes, permitindo experienciar e partilhar de formas variadas o contexto pandémico que nos obriga ao confinamento, mas não necessariamente ao isolamento, pois urge a criação de pontes – virtuais – que nos permitam ultrapassar fronteiras físicas.
- Digital tools for foreign language learning in higher education in PortugalPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Oliveira, I.M.; Martins, Joana; Pereira, José; Martin, J.; Casañ Pitarch, R.; Gillain, R.; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, SusanaPedagogical innovation in higher education is a delicate subject that has already been the object of many studies. Today, it is clear that students must play a very active role in their own learning, in a process that is both increasingly individualised and collaborative, in line with the ever-changing demands of the labour market and society as a whole. Pedagogical innovation can be based on various active methodologies which rest upon numerous tools, among which digital tools currently hold a prominent place. However, it is undeniable that the various studies have attempted to draw firm conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of the different methodologies. What's more, there are so many digital tools readily available to users on the internet that it is often difficult to make a reasoned choice that will guarantee real benefits in terms of learning outcomes right from the beginning of the work with students. In fact, each student has their own particular needs and reactions. This means that teachers need to be highly flexible and able to quickly adapt the teaching sequences they had prepared. They also need to be familiar with a wide range of active methodologies and digital tools to support students' work and they have to be constantly updated to keep pace with the demands of emerging technologies. The challenges are many, but they guarantee motivation for all those involved in the educational process. This article is intended as a contribution to the discussion on the implementation of active methodologies for foreign language (FL) learning in higher education, supported by a wide range of up-to-date digital tools. The experiment presented, which is the result of projects developed at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal), took place during the second semester of the 23-24 academic year, as part of a FL curricular unit (English and French) of the 3-year degree course in Media Studies, with a group of 25 second-year students. The general aim of this curricular unit is to deepen the communicative skills pertaining to the career paths of these students, by mobilising the professional skills of these forthcoming media professionals. Other skills, such as the cultural and intercultural skills inherent to FL, are also worked on. The preferred methodologies are project-based learning, mobile learning, flipped learning, gamification and peer assessment, within a collaborative and constructive environment. In addition to these obvious hard skills, soft skills such as creativity, flexibility, empathy, critical thinking, interpersonal skills are all part of the learning progress. The study shows the evolution of the didactic sequence developed at the beginning of the semester, justifies the decisions taken towards the achievement of positive didactic repercussions particularly with regard to the choice of the digital tools used (for the production and dissemination of documents drawn up by the students or for gamification), systematises the reasons for the adaptation throughout the semester and outlines the difficulties encountered, as well as the advantages of these teaching choices from the point of view of the student, the teacher and the assessment procedures. It concludes with prospects for future research, in particular by considering AI as an inevitable asset within teaching- learning contexts.
- DIGITAL TOOLS FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN PORTUGAL: IMMEASURABLE OPPORTUNITIES AMIDST MULTIPLE CHALLENGESPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Oliveira, Isabel; Martins, Joana; Pereira, José; Martin, Justine; Casañ Pitarch, Ricardo; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, SusanaPedagogical innovation in higher education (HE) is a delicate subject that has already been the object of many studies.

- O encontro da arte digital com a aprendizagem das línguas estrangeiras no ensino superior em Portugal: uma experiência de interdisciplinaridadePublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Costa, Cristina Amaro; Coutinho, Emília; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Lopez Garcia, Patricia; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Relvas, SusanaUm dos desafios atuais do Ensino Superior (ES) é inovar nas suas práticas, con-siderando o estudante como ator ativo da sua aprendizagem, na perspetiva das exigências do mercado do trabalho, a sua rápida evolução e a variedade de ca-pacidades requeridas. A criação de narrativas digitais não lineares dinâmicas com o Korsakow 6 revelou ser uma ferramenta poderosa na aprendizagem ati-va das línguas estrangeiras (LE): estimula a mobilização de competências em diversas áreas e constitui uma forte motivação para os estudantes do século XXI. O projeto JASM (Janela aberta sobre o mundo: LE, criatividade multimodal e inovação pedagógica no ES), desenvolvido por uma equipa pluridisciplinar de docentes do ES, utiliza este sistema para produzir curtas-metragens, em francês e inglês, por alunos do curso de licenciatura em Comunicação Social da Escola Superior de Educação de Viseu (ESEV), tendo por base o percurso de vida e as tradições de imigrantes em Viseu. Recorre a abordagens diversas, de criação e de diferentes modos, com o objetivo de levar os estudantes a desenvolver uma consciência multilingue e multicultural, num ambiente criativo, colaborativo e interdisciplinar. O recurso às novas tecnologias permitiu prosseguir o trabalho à distância, assegurando a continuidade da produção de conteúdos e o refina-mento da qualidade dos documentos. O artigo problematiza a metodologia adotada, apresenta os resultados em termos de conteúdos produzidos, de aquisição de competências, mas também de avaliação por parte dos alunos e dos docentes.
- Entre riscos e rabiscos: da leitura à representação (gráfica) de provérbiosPublication . Silva, Ana Isabel; Amante, Susana; Matos, Isabel Aires; Balula, João PauloDe tradição oral e de origem remota, os provérbios circunscrevem a realidade cultural dos seus criadores e utilizadores. A sua riqueza reside, por um lado, na mensagem sintética e por isso, também, pragmática, ao ser utilizada como âncora em contextos específicos; reside, por outro lado, na construção de metáforas conceptuais, tradutoras de verdades e generalizações sedimentadas na observação empírica. É nestas que a língua portuguesa (LP) germina a dimensão cultural e permite a exploração de mundividências partilhadas, transparentes, translúcidas ou opacas. O trabalho que propomos apresentar descreve um conjunto de atividades realizadas com alunos do 5.o ao 8.o ano de escolaridade, no âmbito de um programa desenvolvido por um agrupamento de escolas da região de Viseu e uma instituição de ensino superior durante o ano letivo de 2013-2014. As atividades que propusemos implicaram considerar a LP a partir de diferentes prismas, perspetivando-a não só como código verbal, como herança cultural, mas também como espaço de criação e criatividade. Assim, a sedimentação de significados que foram construindo a LP é apresentada aos alunos como enigma a desvelar. Neste sentido, propomos a) analisar a representação gráfica de provérbios feita por alunos do ensino básico; b) refletir sobre a influência da LP na formação de provérbios em países de expressão portuguesa. A sua interpretação é padronizada, mas permeável a ambiguidades. Neste caso, e a partir da comparação de um exercício de equivalência entre provérbios representados pela variedade do português, revelamos a seleção dos alunos.
- O espaço e o reconhecimento do Outro em textos de Mia CoutoPublication . Pinho, Sara; Amante, Susana; Balula, João PauloAtualmente, temos de aprender a viver e a conviver numa sociedade em que a diversidade linguística, étnica e cultural é uma realidade, resultante de fenómenos sociais que se constituem como traços da globalização e que não podem ser ignorados. O efeito da globalização verifica-se, também, nas salas de aula em que encontramos alunos oriundos de diferentes países e com diferentes culturas. Daí a necessidade de os alunos, desde cedo, serem confrontados com o reconhecimento e a valorização da diversidade como uma oportunidade e uma fonte de aprendizagem para todos, respeitando o multiculturalismo das sociedades atuais. No meio escolar, o manual é um auxiliar no desenvolvimento de competências e também um meio para promover a formação cívica dos alunos, nomeadamente o reconhecimento do valor da diferença, o que pode ser conseguido através da leitura de textos literários de expressão portuguesa trabalhados nos manuais escolares do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, em Portugal, como são exemplo "O beijo da palavrinha" e "O gato e o escuro", de Mia Couto, presentes nos manuais escolares do 4.º ano de escolaridade. Estes textos alertam para a necessidade de reconhecer a diferença do Outro como sendo algo positivo, de uma riqueza notável, e não como algo a excluir. Consequentemente, o seu estudo pode ser fonte de enriquecimento na construção multicultural e pode assumir grande importância como forma de partilha e de representação de mundos reais e/ou fantásticos, conhecidos e/ou desconhecidos para os alunos. Assim, nesta comunicação, pretende-se fazer uma abordagem, de caráter exploratório, sobre a relação entre o estudo do espaço na obra literária e o reconhecimento do Outro a partir da análise de "O beijo da palavrinha" e de "O gato e o escuro" que constam da lista de obras e textos recomendados para a iniciação à educação literária nas Metas Curriculares de Português do Ensino Básico, em Portugal.
- Foreign language skills: a challenge for the economyPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa, Ana Maria; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Amante, Susana; Oliveira, Isabel; Abrantes, José Luís; Pato, Maria Lúcia; Amaral, Odete; Fidalgo, SusanaAwareness of the fact that multilingualism opens doors to new markets and new business opportunities is not an original phenomenon, but the various works produced with a view to its being acknowledged are still little publicized and granted little practical use also. Showing mastery of communicative skills in several foreign languages is always valuable for the market economy, not only in terms of sales and marketing, but also in order to reach new target groups and establish lasting strategic relationships. The purpose of this article is to provide a general overview of the studies carried out in this context, focusing in particular on aspects such as the increasingly obvious relationship between in force language practices of a diversified nature and the proper functioning of businesses. Equally important is the mastery of language skills, seen as an important driving force of cross-border cooperation, as well as the development of an emotional culture within the business world, propitious to the implementation of efficient language management strategies, which are clearly beneficial inasmuch as the market economy is concerned.
- Foreign languages and employability: a complex relationship. Case study in the region of Viseu (Portugal)Publication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa, Ana Maria; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Amante, Susana; Abrantes, José Luís; Pato, Lúcia; Amaral, Maria Odete; Relvas, Susana; Fidalgo, SusanaThe challenges of today's societies when it comes to employability and to the reality of the current labour market are more and more delicate and diversified. One of the major commitments we expect from higher education is to prepare its students to face this kind of complexity, understanding its nuances and having the capacity to adapt quickly to situations which are common in companies’ lives. From this perspective, the assessment of the impact that the mastery of FL (foreign languages) among our students can have on the different business sectors becomes paramount. It involves reorganising the work carried out with the students during their academic path and raising awareness of future professionals so they may understand the importance of obtaining and mastering communicative skills in foreign languages that will provide them with the right tools to ensure an effective response to the requirements they will have to meet when they apply for a job. The close connection that exists between higher education institutions and the business world also allows the companies to realize that they should (re)think their recruitment policy in order to take into account the importance of foreign languages. Bearing this in mind, the project "Foreign Languages and Employability" (FLE), that will be presented in this article, started in January 2017, at the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV), in Portugal. It focuses on creating a closer relationship with the local business community in order to understand its needs regarding foreign languages. The aim of the project is to strengthen the more practical aspects of the students’ education to ensure the graduates’ employability and a successful professional development. Data collection is carried out through the analysis of job offers, through the replies given to online surveys and through semi-structured interviews. The project includes representatives of the different IPV schools (Agrarian, Education, Health, Technology and Management) working in different sectors of the institution.
