Description
This book focuses on Portuguese as an additional language and its young learners in three
case studies within the Portuguese-speaking world: Portuguese as a second language in
Cape Verde, Portuguese as a heritage language in Switzerland and Portuguese as a foreign
language in Macao SAR. The term “additional language” is used as an umbrella term for all
three contexts.
An analysis of these three case studies is presented, with a focus on the organization of
explicit and implicit language policies with regards to population mobility and also motivational issues, language attitudes and language use by the sample population.
