Description
Summary:This paper presents a teaching experience report developed in two courses ofPortuguese for Foreigners, which is part of Faculty of Language (Fale) of University of Alagoas (UFAL) program: the Language without Borders (ISF). Such program deals with language and culture, or language-culture, in the words of Mendes (2015), in a way that they are both worked together; it means it is academically taught, but also there is an approach using films with North- eastern themes. Based on the theories of Applied Linguistics, in its view of teaching and learning languages, and making use of a qualitative research, which analyses the natural environment of the classroom using observation as a technique, it is concluded that the pedagogical practice used -the intercultural approach in dialogue and reflective classes - was relevant to the students' concrete learning.
