Voices of Diversity: Awareness of Portuguese Linguistic Diversity

Intro

The "Voices of Diversity" project is a virtual platform for elementary learners of Portuguese as a second language. It highlights the global diversity of Portuguese, showcasing regional identities and cultural richness. Hosted on Google Sites, the project features spoken poetry performances that celebrate various accents and dialects. Reflective questions encourage critical thinking about language and identity, while students research and present specific Portuguese varieties. By exploring local expressions, cultural nuances, and linguistic differences, the project fosters an inclusive learning environment. This approach prioritizes intelligibility over conformity, celebrating the rich diversity of the Portuguese language and its speakers worldwide.
