Tue
Join us in a conversation on what it means to be bilingual in Brazil.
Join students from SPAN127-Bilingual Lives: Belonging and Community in a conversation on what it means to be bilingual in Brazil. Drawing on Koques' and her students' experiences, the presentation will explore the contradictions embedded in Brazil’s public education system, particularly the tension between limited access to meaningful foreign language education and the expectation that students demonstrate such knowledge on the college entrance exam.
