VIRIATO, Evelyn  y  ANDRADE, Maria de Fátima Ramos de. Practices of portuguese language educators for refugees. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2023, vol.30, e012.  Epub 10-Ago-2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v30a2023-12.

The aim of this text was to investigate the knowledge base of volunteer educators in teaching Portuguese language within the context of welcoming refugees/immigrants. It involved a qualitative research with a descriptive-analytical approach. The analysis process led to the creation of three analytical dimensions: a) professional choice, the role of the volunteer educator, and conceptions of welcoming; b) knowledge base, teaching learning, and the deconstruction of beliefs; and c) institutional proposal for the training of Portuguese language educators for refugees/immigrants. We concluded that despite the lack of adequate training, there is a strong motivation among educators to provide quality classes. There is alignment between the volunteers and the organization's mission and vision. The institution demonstrates concern for the professional development of its staff, and its actions with the team are driven by practical needs arising from the daily demands of the classes.
