Mangas (2023) Teaching portuguese to chinese students: comparative study between remote and in person teaching in a language immersion context, EDULEARN23 Proceedings, pp. 7973-7982.978-84-09-52151-72340-1117http://hdl.handle.net/10400.8/9148The 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.engForeign languageLanguage immersionRemote teachingIn person teachingjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.21125/edulearn.2023.2068
