Critical extention and functional integration of teaching practices of Portuguese as a regional integration language in a social management school

Abstract

This article seeks to reflect upon and analyze, through an incipient systematization of experiences, the learning experience of students from a social management school on the outskirts of Rosario. The project of CSU "Portuguese and integration" of the Languages Program of the UNR, seeks to promote reflection on the construction of regional citizenship by presenting Portuguese as a “language of integration”. We also try to encourage critical thinking and transformative action within university students through the implementation of a program that evokes contemplation about the community's social, cultural and economic reality. In order to achieve our goals, we assume the theoretical assumptions of  “Critical Extension”, and we firmly believe that the integration of functions (teaching, extension and research) should be always considered as an integral training process.
