Organized around themes of particular relevance for Portuguese language learners, this textbook develops students' writing competence in a range of textual genres and features sources drawn from across the Portuguese-speaking world--literary, journalistic, or otherwise. Práticas textuais also provides the opportunity for a review of typically challenging elements of grammar, such as the contrast between indicative and subjunctive moods and compound verbal tenses, and helps learners progress from advanced-low to advanced-midlevel proficiency, according to the ACTFL guidelines, or from level B2 to C1, following the CEFR. Online components accompany the text, including reviews for each lesson, audio files and scripts, and answers to textbook activities, as well as teaching suggestions for instructors.
