The Transversality of the Portuguese Language in the Angolan University Curriculum

Abstract

The greatest social challenge facing the citizen of today's era is that of acquiring skills that will enable him to succeed in a society in constant and varied change. In order for the individual to achieve this goal, teaching in Portuguese assumes a preponderant role not only as a means to promote the development of writing and oral proficiencies, but also as a fertilizer of analytical, critical thinking, leading to their active participation in society. In this domain, the school is assumed as the primary means of socialization where the beardless being receives programmatic, ethical and deontological contents - through the transversality of the Portuguese language - which will enable him to make his contribution to the development of the nation through not only the exercise of a profession, but also a social conduct that is expected to be modeled. In communicative terms, the fact that Portuguese is, historically, the official language of Angola, should require from educational agents - specifically teachers - an innovative care for its qualified implementation in higher education school curricula. Since the university is the privileged space for the consolidation, improvement and development of scientific knowledge and the human component, the transversality of the Portuguese language is an innovation that is necessary for the university student to become a citizen of the universe, able to impose himself in disparate professional scenarios anchored in the Portuguese.
