Os Jesuítas nas Américas: "A República dos Guaranis"

[POR] Para este trabalho, elegemos um estudo sobre uma «experiência jesuíta» junto dos Guaranis, que designamos por «A República dos Guaranis». Trata-se de um processo histórico complexo que teve início no século XVII, sob o impacto da Contra-Reforma, e que terminou em pleno século XVIII, quando o Absolutismo, o Racionalismo e a Lei Natural dominavam a Europa. Este trabalho procura compreender como esta realidade sociocultural se relacionou com uma das regiões do Brasil colonial. [EN] This study analyzes a «Jesuit experience» with the Guarani people, also known as the «Guarani’s Republic». The latter is a complex historical venture which began in the 17th century, in the wake of the Counter-Reformation (1545-1648), and ended in the 18th century when Absolutism, Rationalism, and Natural Law dominated Europe. Our aim is thus that of analyzing how this socio-cultural reality was tied with one region of Colonial Brazil (1500-1822).

PlayingCLIL, a new game-based methodology using drama pedagogy

[EN]Linguistic immersion programs are increasing nowadays. The concept of being bilingual, that started being used by schools for the elite in the 19th century, and that in the mid- 20th century became an educational option, has given raise to CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), a methodology through which students work in a bilingual environment, acquiring knowledge of curricular subject and developing their competences in a foreign language. In this teaching context started a new European project called PlayingCLIL. Six partners from different European countries (Germany, United Kingdom, Spain and Romania) are working in this project. Our main aim is to develop a new methodology to learn a foreign language combining elements from the pedagogic drama (interactive games) with the CLIL classroom. At present we are testing the games in different schools and high schools and we are compiling the results to be collected in a handbook (printed and e-book).
