Cadets develop competence in the knowledge and comprehension of representative Portuguese and Brazilian literary works and their relationship to the cultural contexts of Portuguese and Brazilian society. Selected examples of various literary genres are read, discussed, and analyzed. At the same time, cadets continue to develop greater language proficiency. Video and film presentations supplement readings, where possible. Graded work may include giving oral presentations, writing short essays, or preparing a term paper. A majority of the work is done in Portuguese.
