View a sample here:

The second of three recreational/didactic components in this field which, by using texts taken from Portuguese Oral Literature and putting them into writing, develop recreational reading and creative writing activities.

Aimed at teenagers and adults, the main objective of this book is to develop students' communicative competences in the Portuguese language (linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic).

'Vitória, vitória, acabou-se a história' is organised into three parts, as follows:

- Part 1: This explores the concepts of oral literature, Portuguese folk tales, recreational reading and creative writing.

- Part 2: This comprises 20 recreational reading and creative writing workshops based on 20 Portuguese folk tales. Graded at CEFR levels C1 or C2, and presented in order of difficulty, these workshops comprise pre-reading, reading and post-reading activities, plus exercises based on planning, comprehension and revision.

- Part 3: This contains a dictionary that can be developed and completed by learners. It includes contextualised definitions for the required word(s), together with a synonym and an antonym.

Answers to all of the exercises can be found at the back of the book.
