Dear Students,
I am writing to encourage you to add a
Portuguese class to your curriculum in Spring 2015. Portuguese is spoken
all over the world and is the official language in several countries (not just
Portugal and Brazil). It is the 6th most spoken language in the world, with
over 260 million speakers. At IU, we have a vibrant Portuguese department with
a number of cultural activities throughout the year.
Portuguese Minor: 15 credit hours of course work at or
above the 200 level, including: P200-250, P311, P317, and a 400-level course, or
P290 with permission of the department.
Portuguese Major: 30 credit hours of course work at or above
the 200 level.
If you are a
Spanish major, you may count a Portuguese class towards your Spanish
major. Or you may consider adding a Portuguese minor (or
major). Most Spanish majors start at P135 (Intensive Portuguese), but if you
feel you should be placed at a higher level, contact me and we will arrange a
placement interview.
If you have any questions, feel free to
contact me: Dr. Luciana Namorato, lnamorat@indiana.edu.
In the meantime, we hope to see you at our
Portuguese Conversation hour, every Friday, from 4 to 6pm, at
Starbucks, IU Memorial Union.

credits)
Second part of a two-semester survey of the literatures of Portugal,

diverse authors—all writing in Portuguese—but from different geographic regions
responded to the historical and social challenges of their times. We will read
a variety of genres (prose, poetry, theater) and cover the major literary
movements from realism, modernism, to social realism and contemporary feminist
and post-modernist writing. The course is taught in Portuguese, and students
are not required
