This edition presents the voices of researchers from different areas (Angola, Brazil, China, including Macau, Mozambique and Portugal) who discuss the issue of teaching the Portuguese language, supported by different strategic and methodological perspectives. These texts highlight aspects of motivation, the typology of learners (including their linguistic and cultural origins and their previous training, if applicable), teaching and learning objectives, teaching strategies such as role play, resources digital, and also focus on issues of the need for awareness and diagnosis, as well as the problem of analysis practices, more or less, conditioned by grammatical norms.

The rich panoply of contexts and perspectives, in addition to its informative dimension for the reader interested in the place of Portuguese in the world and its teaching, takes on a formative dimension for researchers and teachers, exemplifying possibilities for approaching and studying various research questions . Testimony of this conception are the studies presented, which we believe are relevant contributions to greater sustainable dissemination and a better knowledge of the language that unites us and that allows us to be so different.
