Letters licentiate: the teaching formation on the course curriculum and the perspectives of the graduating academics

This research aims to analyze the curriculum of two letters courses in an institution of Santa Catarina state which offers the qualifications in German and Portuguese / English. As the corpus of this research, the summaries and curriculum of the courses, as well as the answers of a questionnaire which was applied to the academics on the sixth stage of German and eighth stage of Portuguese/English of their courses, were analyzed using the textual discursive analysis. So, this article aims to analyze the teaching formation in the curriculum and the perspectives of the academics of the licentiate courses in letters with qualifications in German and Portuguese/English. What can be discussed from this study is that although the institution is trying to combine theory and practice in the course curriculums, the specific knowledge of the area is prioritized. This imbalance stands out as an important factor that must be improved in the teaching formation provided by the courses.
