About this product
Product Information
Ponto de Encontro is the first Portuguese language textbook that gives the student the choice to learn either Brazilian or European Portuguese.

Reviews
Ponto de Encontro According to Professors Brazil and Portugal: I am particularly impressed with the decision of the authors' to incorporate both peninsular and Brazilian Portuguese… It is key to developing the student's understanding of the global nature of the lusophone world. Furthermore, from a practical point of view, it makes a coordinator's life much easier... The authors' approach in this regard is perfect.- Phillip Rothwell, Rutgers University I think one of the greatest merits and challenges of Ponto de Encontro is the incorporations of both linguistic varieties, and I congratulate the authors for taking this task in a serious and successful manner. -Ana Maria Carvalho, University of California, Berkeley Activities: I like that the activities involve working with partners and in small groups and then [are followed by] follow-ups that involve finding the general opinions of the class. -Susan McMillen Villar, University of Minnesota The activities are varied but communicative in nature, allowing students to practice language and structures in meaningful contexts. As with the content in general, there is an abundance of practice options, which give the instructor flexibility to use those which seem most appropriate. -Jason R. Jolley,MissouriState University Vocabulary: Regarding vocabulary, I like the fact that the book goes into areas that are of great interest to students today, such as technology, the environment, social conditions and political systems, in addition to the more traditional subjects of home, family, food, health, school… The book will be more attractive than any other one on the market. -Margo Milleret, University of New Mexico …One of the greatest strengths of this proposal is the plethora of vocabulary units. It is diverse and relevant. -Bryan Kennedy, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Grammar: The chapters present grammar in an intuitive sequence that will equip learners with the tools to begin using correct patterns early on in their communications. The explanations are indeed clear and accurate, without being convoluted. -Jason R. Jolley,MissouriState University Culture: I want to compliment the authors for the option of introducing cultural texts on all the Portuguese-speaking countries around the world. This will be the first book to include this aspect. One of the reasons we have waited so long to change our textbook is hoping that Ponto de Encontro can be our next option.- Monica Rector, University of North Carolina Program Components: The features I find most attractive are the text's excellent activities, use of the internet, the pre- during and post-reading activities, the situaaÇÕes, the activity CD-ROM, the instructor's resource manual and companion website… -Clelia Donovan, University of California, Berkeley <, "Ponto de Encontro" According to Professors Brazil and Portugal: I am particularly impressed with the decision of the authors' to incorporate both peninsular and Brazilian Portuguese...

These are the kinds of supplements that we have for Spanish, French and German language teaching that have been lacking for teaching Portuguese... We would be delighted with what you have promised... With this text we can FINALLY teach our beginning and intermediate Portuguese language classes like we do our Spanish language classes without so much effort on the part of the instructors who have had the responsibility of developing so much to make the classes communicative. I can't wait for the text to be published! - "Susan McMillen Villar, University of Minnesota" Overall: This course is simply outstanding: it is pedagogically sound, communicative in approach, while giving appropriate levels of grammatical explanation and developing sound writing skills... It is long overdo and represents a landmark in Portuguese language courses... This text will be adopted by Rutge

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
