Project Description
The application of PUC-Campinas for continued participation in the EL Fellow Program is part of the Internationalization Project of the University. Some of the main structural actions are the development of skills in foreign languages and competence in dealing with different cultures. The enlisted activities shall be developed and implemented by the requested EL Fellow in PUC-Campinas. Beyond language courses and teacher training, the EL Fellow will support the development of seminars and cultural events and be a reference for institutional connection (i.e. PUC-Campinas and his/her original University). It is likely that the EL Fellow will also take part in the design of projects of PUC-Campinas with the US Consulate in São Paulo and the US Embassy in Brasilia (teleconferences, seminars), aiming to broaden the presence of English Language and American Culture in PUC- Campinas and establishing linkages with US institutions. School of Letters and the Department of International and Foreign Affairs have been designated to help the EL Fellow get all the necessary tools. The School of Letters is responsible for graduate and undergraduate programs in Portuguese, English and Spanish in the various knowledge areas in which PUC-Campinas offers its educational services. Therefore, it is responsible for teacher licensing in languages. The Department of International and Foreign Affairs is responsible for the development and the improvement of the University’s Internationalization Project. The EF Program meets the University’s commitment to contribute to EFL Teacher Training and English Language/Culture Learning processes, enhancing their quality in order to respond to the needs and interests derived from the important role Campinas has in the region of the São Paulo State, and even in Brazil.
