DESCRIPTION:Spoken by over 244 million people in five continents\, Portugu
 ese is the official language of eight countries: Angola\, Brazil\, Cape Ve
 rde\, East Timor\, Guinea-Bissau\, Mozambique\, Portugal and São Tomé an
 d Príncipe. Naturally\, there is a great deal of linguistic variation in 
 Portuguese the same way we find variation within English. Yet\, this has n
 ot impeded English as a Foreign Language to spread\, in fact\, to dominate
  as a global language (possibly aided by the “World English” approach 
 in the classroom).\n\nThis workshop seeks to bring together linguists and 
 language teachers to discuss the linguistic variation between European and
  Brazilian Portuguese and how this variation should be taught and/or repre
 sented in the classroom. The focus will be on the following questions:\n\n
 • Should Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese be taught as two d
 ifferent languages\, two different dialects\, or two different registers?\
 n• How viable is a pluricentric teaching model in the classroom?\n• Wh
 at is the international experience and practice of bidialectal classrooms?
 \n• What happens when the grammatical configuration of the L1 – which 
 is English in the context of our workshop – is closer to the grammatical
  settings of one of the two varieties? Should this be exploited more even 
 at the possible detriment of the other variety?\n• How teachers’ perce
 ptions of bilinguals and bidialectals affect the teaching of PLE (Portugu
 ês Língua Estrangeira)?\n• What are the sociolinguistic implications o
 f teaching PLE via the nonstandard/less prestigious variety? \n\n\nOrganis
