Abstract

he work entitled The Importance of Specialized Training for Portuguese Language Teaching. Case of Colégio nº 90 and Complexo Escolar no 12, both in the municipality of Lubango - Huíla province, aimed to find solutions to the problem that any teacher is qualified to teach Portuguese. In this way, we achieved the following objectives: General; To assess the importance of specialization in Portuguese language teaching for teachers of the subject. Specific: (i) To examine the profile of the specialist in Portuguese Language Teaching; (ii) To assess the potential that specialization in Portuguese Language Teaching confers on the teacher of the subject, which will differentiate him from the non-specialist, based on limitations and shortcomings; (iii) To highlight all the technical and methodological tools of specialization in Portuguese Language Teaching that will make the specialist competent to teach the subject. To this end, we raised the following question: What relevance does specialization in Portuguese Language Teaching have for teaching Portuguese Language? The work therefore dealt with aspects linked to the importance of linguistic training and also the knowledge that teachers should have about the Didactics of Portuguese Language Teaching. As a methodology, we used a survey addressed to Portuguese language teachers, without specialization, four from Complexo Escolar no 12 and another four from Colégio no 90 - Missão Católica do Lubango. We concluded, however, that these teachers find it very difficult to devise strategies for teaching Portuguese language content. This is because these teachers do not have specific knowledge of linguistics, nor do they have specific methodology for teaching the subject in question.
