Projeto Pedagógico do Curso de Graduação em Letras Estrangeiras da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)

Abstract

The pedagogical project for the university degree in Foreign Languages at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) derived from discussions aiming, primarily, at the development of a syllabus which would privilege the specificities required of a professional in foreign languages. Thus, in its overall design, the project proposes a panoramic view of the larger dimensions of language-related studies open to the foreign language  rofessional. This panorama intends to encourage balance and relevance among the theoretical and practical activities–in terms of teaching, research and extension–related to each of these broad dimensions and to open up perspectives for concentration in one or more of the dimensions, according
to the students’ academic-professional interests. Adapting to current legislation, the curricular structure is made up of: 1) common core disciplines, characterized by linguistic and literary contents of the five foreign languages offered (English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish); 2) disciplines related specifically to each one of the foreign languages, thus delineating the profile of the future professional; 3) complementary activities,
aiming at a diversified educational background; 4) special practical disciplines, linking theory and practice; 5) pedagogical disciplines and didacticpedagogical supervised practical training, for the Teaching Certificate; 6) disciplines related to carrying out research and producing the final monograph for the Bachelor’s degree.
