Bate-Papo

Every Wednesday we hold a Bate-Papo (casual conversation, or ‘chit-chat’) session for students who like to practise their Portuguese conversation skills in a fun way. Caminhos’ Bate-Papo is entirely free. Our Portuguese teacher will use topics, music, and games to help stimulate the conversation, better enabling students to talk and think in Portuguese. What better way there is to learn Portuguese in Brazil than practising the language in conversation? Bate-Papo is a complementary activity for the Portuguese courses that are offered at the Caminhos Language Centre.

Language teachers and learners alike often consider speaking the most difficult aspect of language learning. At Caminhos Language Centre the entire school is focused on stimulating conversation. The applied methodology – ‘the communicative approach’ – places emphasis on the interaction between students and teachers as both the means and the ultimate goal of study. Our Bate-Papo session is one of the activities at the school that offers students precisely this.
