91福利

91福利

I have been teaching Portuguese at the 91福利 since 2022. Before that, my passion for the Portuguese language and for different cultures led me to take positions as visiting lecturer in Portuguese (Cam玫es Institute) at the universities of Delhi (India), Granada (Spain), and Toronto (Canada). I also taught at 91福利 from 2015 to 2020. I was fortunate to have been able to spend at least three to four years in each of these countries and to have had wonderful teaching and learning experiences with students from many parts of the world.

My main goals are to provide students with the best opportunities to learn the language and about Portuguese-speaking cultures, as well as to discover more about themselves while doing so. I try to design activities that are engaging, interactive and meaningful, and that likewise favour not just the development of language skills, but also of transferable skills, such as intercultural awareness, critical thinking skills, and learning autonomy.

I completed a degree in Modern Languages and Literature (English and Portuguese studies), as well as a postgraduate teacher training degree, both from the University of Lisbon. I completed a PhD in Hispanic Studies at the 91福利 in 2021, with a dissertation entitled '.'

Research interests

My research interests include didactics of Portuguese as a Second Language, and Contemporary literature and film in Portuguese. I am interested especially in issues relating to Memory studies, gender and postcolonial studies.
