Abstract(s)
The Bachelor of Social Sciences in Sino-Lusophone Trade Relations aims to provide students with
knowledge in the areas of Law, Management, Economics and Trade between China and Portuguesespeaking
countries. The course is also expected to promote Portuguese language skills and an
understanding and respect for their culture. In order to successfully achieve these goals, the students'
linguistic and cultural immersion was considered a benefit to their training. Therefore, a protocol was
established between the Macao Polytechnic University and the Polytechnic of Leiria, so the second year
of the course could take place in Leiria, Portugal. However, there was a particularly challenging period
for all members of the educational community, since, taking into account the contingency measures
arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the teaching and non-teaching activities took place in a distance
format, namely in the academic years of 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The research analyses the activities
developed in the different teaching modalities and the results obtained by the students, in a comparative
logic. The study has shown that remote teaching practices has made the implementation of some
pedagogical actions more complex or, in some cases, impossible. Nevertheless, efforts were made to
find alternatives that would provide the students with rich training moments that would contribute to the
increase of their knowledge in the areas of specialty and proficiency in the Portuguese language.
