Hora da História Hora da História: Livro do Aluno + CD áudio 2 (A2)

View a sample here:

The level 2 Student's book comprises 8 units in total (6 main units, an introductory unit, as well as a concluding unit).

The introductory unit presents different aspects of Portuguese culture, whilst the concluding unit is centred around some of the most important festivals in Portugal and the Portuguese-speaking world.

The 6 main units follow the story of two Portuguese cousins and their German friends living in Portugal. Their adventures are narrated in the opening section of each unit, entitled 'A nossa história' (Our story).

The sections 'Na tua sala de aula' (In your classroom) and 'Nas aulas de Português' (In your Portuguese lessons) focus on grammar and lexical contents, thus interconnecting the story in the manual and the reality of the classroom setting.

After school, our heroes move on to 'Em casa da avó' (At grandma's), a section that requires pupils to apply their understanding of the content in order to complete various tasks (akin to homework).

The section 'Já Sei!' (I now know) will help to consolidate learners' reading, speaking and writing skills step-by-step using explanations as well as vocabulary and grammar exercises.

Each unit concludes with a cultural section called 'Hora da História' (History lesson), which features stories adapted by the author Teófilo Braga.
