Volume 21 Number 2 Fall 2007
From the Editor
Uma breve busca pelas pginas da MLA, do Chronicle of Higher
Education e pela lista da BRASA nos mostra o nmero de vagas
para professores de portugus, latinoamericanistas, historiadores,
escolas de segundo grau na Flrida e na costa Leste americana.
Com certeza, o ano de 2007 ficar marcado como um dos mais
profcuos em termos de novos empregos, de congressos relacionados com o mundo de lngua portuguesa, de publicaes de autores brasileiros traduzidos para ingls, alm de um investimento sem
precedentes em bolsas de estudo para aprendizes de portugus.
Isso nos deixa otimistas com relao ao futuro da Lngua Portuguesa nos Estados Unidos. O Brasil, ao saldar sua dvida externa e ao
descobrir jazidas de petrleo, recentemente, alm de lder e pioneiro
na tecnologia do etanol, demonstra sua maioridade econmica no
setor energtico. O mundo globalizado no pertence apenas aos
pases ricos de primeiro mundo. E isso haver de se refletir na
Lngua Portuguesa e na maneira como ensinada nos Estados Unidos como instrumento de consumo global e local, econmico e
cultural. O desafio est lanado, com o crescente interesse na lngua
portuguesa. O que ns, professores de lngua, temos feito para
acompanhar o ensino, em termos de globalizao?
A Portuguese Newsletter do outono de 2007 traz J. David Jackson,
da Yale University, como Destaque. Ao ler sua entrevista, o leitor
concordar comigo que, para Jackson, a globalizao parece ter
sempre existido, mesmo antes de se tornar novidade. Em Ponto de
Vista, Toni Cowles e Lyris Wiedemann nos mostram que a lngua,
como bem de consumo, deve ser testada de acordo com as exigncias do mercado. A PN traz mais: novas publicaes e filmes em
Bookstore, chamada para trabalhos acadmicos e ofertas de bolsas
de estudos para a escola de Portugus do Middlebury College, em
Agenda; e ainda, em ETC, o discurso do Embaixador de Portugal
no Capitlio, por ocasio do lanamento oficial da escola de Portugus Mar e Floresta. Confira!

Interviewed by
Luci Moreira
LM - How did you first become interested in Portuguese? And what do you consider your best accomplishments in your career?
KDJ - When I was an undergraduate cellist with the
University of Illinois Symphony Orchestra (my undergraduate degree is in Music), I traveled to Brazil as part
of a State Department Latin American tour, where I was
fascinated with the language and the country. After returning, I took a summer intensive course at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I studied Portuguese
with Mary Lou Daniel and Joaquim Coelho as TAs, later
entering graduate studies under Jorge de Sena. There I
met Haroldo de Campos, who came to lecture on poesia
concreta with his brother Augusto, and Prof. Antonio
Candido, who would be my thesis advisor at USP. FriendMore Destaque on page 2

ships and associations with many Brazilian and Portuguese

visitors have sustained my interests and studies over the
years, including my long association with Fred Ellison, one
of the pioneers in the field, at U Texas-Austin.
The best accomplishments, one can hope, are still to come,
however I remember many special moments. Working on
Portuguese culture in India and Sri Lanka, I could cover
different areas, from ethnomusicology, photography, and
translation (creolistics) to collaborative work with linguists
and anthropologists. Some unforgettable moments are a
first visit to Old Goa and the Baslica de Bom Jesus, lively
evenings of performances of traditional Indo-Portuguese
folk songs, first in Trincomalee (Sri Lanka) and later in
Daman, recording with Ian R Smith in Batticaloa (Sri
Lanka), two visits to the village of Korlai and fort of Chaul
with Jerome Rosario, a native speaker of the creole, and
three visits to Macau. Out of my Asian phase came the
three CDs in the series Journey of Sounds (Expo 98/
Tradisom), a photograph album, A Presena Oculta, and
the books Sing Without Shame and De Chaul a
Batticaloa.
For sheer drama, I think of the presentation of the CDROM on the first edition of The Lusiads at the FLAD
auditorium in Lisbon in 2003. On the plane before arriving,
I happened to see the headline American historian defames national edition, a subtle indication of the questioning awaiting me. In Macao, I introduced my photograph
album in a session at the Senate, with portraits of the governors of Macao lining the walls. And on a monsoon summer afternoon I spoke at the Menezes Braganza Institute
in Panaji, Goa. In Brazil I was invited by the Academy of
Letters, in Washington, D.C. by the Library of Congress,
and by the Luso-Brazilian Review for a magical return to
my alma mater for a keynote lecture on Portuguese studies in the U.S. All of these invitations, as many others,
were high points.
I devoted a number of years work both to the vanguard
literatures project, with Merlin Forster (BYU) and Harald
Wentzlaff-Eggebert (Jena), for which I published a volume
each on Brazil and Portugal, and to preparation of the Oxford Anthology of the Brazilian Short Story (2006). The
translation of Pagus almost-lost novel Industrial Park with
my wife Elizabeth has proved to be a great teaching resource on So Paulo. Raising our three children with Portuguese as their first language gives us all a special link,
and we fit right in with Elizabeths Brazilian family when
we visit Igarapava, SP. I also think with satisfaction on a
number of academic conferences that brought together
friends and colleagues on topics ranging from poetry, the2

ater, music, to plastic arts such as Portuguese World

Music, Grand Expositions, and the Symphosophia on
experimental and avant-garde poetry. Undergraduate students have delighted me with their insightful essays, and
graduate advisees have gone on to careers of their own,
including Charles Perrone (Florida), Pedro Maligo (Coastal
Carolina U), Adria Frizzi (U Texas-Austin), Daniel Scarfo
(U. Bs. As.), and Estela Vieira (Indiana). Each one of these
moments is the best.
LM - You have published on Brazilian and Portuguese
authors and on the culture of the Lusophone world, showing great versatility, expanded horizons but, at the same
time, your research is very specific. How do you balance the direction of your research?
KDJ - I enjoy working on wide-ranging topics, although they
may seem like three different worlds Brazil, Portugal, and
Lusophone Asia and involve different disciplines too. At
times I have to remind myself that they are all connected,
yet they really are, as I am constantly reminded by the work
of the amazing Charles Boxer. In Brazil, I have concentrated on Machado, Modernism and Concrete poetics; in
Portugal on Cames, Pessoa, and contemporary poetry; and
in Lusophone Asia on music, verse, and cultural encounters. These topics from the broader Lusophone world begin to fold back onto one another, as when Asian hybridity
connects with Brazilian antropofagia, when Cames brings
classical literature to India or, to quote Haroldo de Campos,
when Ulysses voyages to Brazil.
LM - How has your interest in ethnomusicology evidenced itself in your language and literature classes?
KDJ - In teaching language, I always used Brazilian popular music for cultural content and phonetics, however
ethnomusicology is specialized, and most musics of the
Lusophone world are still very little know to students. I do
include music in a course on cultural contacts of the Portuguese world, which could actually become a course totally
on music. In 2005 I organized a Portuguese World Music
congress at Yale, which showcased the fascinating contribution of Portuguese music to world culture, whether in Malacca, Goa, Mozambique, or Cape Verde, from morna to
mand, fado to samba. Much more can be done to bring
music into teaching of language and culture.
LM - You have interest in the Portuguese culture on Asia,
specifically India and Sri Lanka. How do you see the
effects of globalization on the Portuguese language, as
represented in those nations and in the rest of the Portuguese-speaking world?

FALL 2007

KDJ - Portuguese continues to have historical and linguistic

importance in parts of Asia, although it is effectively a survivor from centuries past. It is Brazil, with almost 200 million
speakers that holds the key to how globalization will treat
the Portuguese language on a world scale. The internet and
its amazing resources for instant communication and information should help to consolidate the language. The question is whether Portuguese can survive as a global entity,
since it is spread over many continents and societies? I think
that literary and cultural depth will guide how globalization
affects the Portuguese language. Saramagos Nobel Prize
was very helpful; now students want to know what else
Portuguese has to say. Translation is still crucial.
LM - Can you tell the Portuguese Newsletter readers
what your participation in the World Expo 98 in Portugal represented and your contribution? And your next
projects?
KDJ - The Expo 98 in Lisbon was very exciting, a synthesis
of 500 years of international contacts. It was the culmination of the work of the National Commission for the Commemoration of the Portuguese Discoveries, with exhibits covering the arts, cultures, and sciences of the Portuguese voyages. I was invited to write one of the books for the Portuguese pavilion, which was Builders of the Oceans (written
in Portuguese and English, with a Spanish translation).

As for next projects, and there are quite a few, I plan to

finish the four volumes of the collected journalism of Patrcia
Galvo, complete studies on Cames, Pessoa and Machado
de Assis, a monograph on Brazilian modernism, and perhaps some creative writing.
LM - How do you see Portuguese in the U.S. in the
next decades?
KDJ - With the recognition of Brazil as a 21st century
power (part of the BRIC Countries Brazil, Russia, India, China) there is more of an expectation that Portuguese
will grow rapidly in importance here. Brazil now has the
majority population of South America, its economy is doing
very well, and Brazilian presence in the U.S. has grown
substantially. Finally the term Latin America will include
Brazil. Yet Portuguese still has no solid place in the American academy, it almost disappears in most of our Departments of Spanish and Portuguese, and in the future it will
have to find its own way, or redefine itself as a field. These
are long-term goals. Fortunately, our students are increasingly interested in Brazilian topics. Yale has a summer program in Brazil now going into its fourth year. Undergraduate students continue to respond to the great works of literature in Portuguese, and for me that is still our most important contribution.

K. David Jackson has a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is

a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies of Portuguese at Yale
University.

Ponto de Vista

tema que possa interessar queles que trabalham com a lngua portuguesa. Solicitamos textos curtos e livres de jarges tcnicos

Programas de Portugus: importncia

da avaliao lingstica
Como conseqncia de transformaes na ordem poltica mundial, do avano tecnolgico e da globalizao, o interesse pelo ensino
de lnguas estrangeiras nos Estados Unidos cresceu significativamente nos ltimos anos. Tanto em rgos governamentais como
no setor privado, enfatiza-se o surgimento e expanso de programas de ensino-aprendizagem de idiomas. como se o pas tivesse
subitamente se dado conta da importncia de falar outras lnguas e
quisesse recuperar o tempo perdido em dcadas passadas, em
que o domnio de idiomas estrangeiros era considerado um luxo,
em vez de um bem necessrio.
Esse sentido de urgncia acentuado de duas maneiras. Em primeiro lugar, na atribuio de prioridade pelo governo a certos idiomas-alvo, considerados essenciais para o pas, em face de sua
importncia no mbito poltico e econmico e do reduzido nmero
de norte-americanos que os domina (rabe, persa moderno, chins, japons e portugus so alguns deles). Em segundo lugar, pela
busca sistemtica de programas e materiais que acelerem a aquisio de habilidades lingsticas. Em funo disso, as pessoas interessadas em aprender idiomas se defrontam com um nmero crescente de publicaes e programas intensivos nos Estados Unidos e
no estrangeiro.
Neste Ponto de Vista, gostaramos de salientar a importncia que
a escolha de um instrumento de avaliao de proficincia lingstica,
como a OPI, desempenha no atual contexto, a partir do modelo
adotado nos ltimos anos pelo programa intensivo de vero do
Middlebury College.
Com j cinco anos de existncia, a Escola de Vero de Portugus
do Middlebury College o segundo mais recente dos dez programas de uma instituio que h quase noventa anos se constitui no
padro internacional de excelncia no ensino de lnguas (a Escola
de Hebraico ter incio em 2008). O modelo das escolas de vero
de Middlebury consiste na criao, no campus de Vermont, de um
ambiente lingstico e cultural artificialmente contextualizado, onde
existe um compromisso de uso exclusivo da lngua-alvo nas aulas,
durante as refeies, nos dormitrios do programa e em atividades
extracurriculares, como esportes, conferncias e programas culturais. A equipe pedaggica mora nos dormitrios e convive com os
4

alunos em todos os aspectos da experincia.

Esse programa tambm se destaca na rea de avaliao. Desde
seu segundo ano de funcionamento, como parte de um projeto de
desenvolvimento de materiais financiado pela NEH, todos os alunos vm sendo submetidos a avaliaes finais de proficincia
lingstica. Aqueles que chegam escola com alguma proficincia
em portugus so testados no incio e ao final do curso de sete
semanas.
O instrumento utilizado para aferir o desempenho oral dos alunos
a OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview) do ACTFL, aplicada de forma
no-oficial (advisory) por avaliadoras credenciadas pelo ACTFL
que participam do projeto. Esse instrumento multilnge se originou
na escala do ILR (Interagency Language Roundtable), utilizada
desde a dcada de 1950 para avaliar a competncia lingstica de
funcionrios do governo norte-americano. A entrevista, que acumula, portanto, mais de 50 anos de uso, baseia-se em pesquisa e
dados empricos e aceita universalmente por empresas privadas,
universidades, escolas secundrias e agncias do governo nos Estados Unidos, diferentemente de qualquer outro teste de avaliao
lingstica.
A realizao de entrevista individual com a durao de at trinta
minutos determina a competncia comunicativa do aluno, ou seja,
demonstra o que ele consegue fazer com a lngua atravs da realizao de funes que integram vrias tarefas. Com slido
embasamento terico, os dados obtidos tm um papel formativo e
somativo: (1) servem para determinar a evoluo do estudante,
dando-lhe uma idia clara de seu progresso; e (2) informam o programa e sugerem os retoques necessrios ao currculo de ano para
ano. Esses dois aspectos so claramente descritos, por exemplo,
em Standard for Learning Language in the 21st Century, documento criado por um grupo de especialistas de organizaes de
profissionais de ensino. Os critrios e os moldes sugeridos no documento constituem a linha-mestra para a criao de currculos eficientes e apropriados a serem implantados em programas de lngua
de qualquer nvel.
Alm disso, por se tratar de um instrumento conhecido e utilizado
amplamente em diferentes lnguas, a OPI permite a interpretao
rpida dos resultados por qualquer pessoa interessada. Atravs do
nmero de patamares galgados e das descries de cada patamar,

SPRING 2007

fcil comparar resultados com os critrios estabelecidos para

cada nvel e subnvel dentro da escala da ACTFL. Mais ainda, o
instrumento possibilita a comparao com outros programas, quer
do mesmo idioma ou de idiomas diferentes, o que no possvel
quando se utiliza um exame feito exclusivamente para uma lngua.
Tal fato abre perspectivas ainda mais amplas para chegar-se a
generalizaes embasadas em dados.
Por exemplo, pela OPI pode-se comprovar que, ao longo da existncia das escolas, a maioria dos alunos dos cursos de vero do
Middlebury College obtm ganhos correspondentes a um ano ou
mais de aquisio de lngua a nvel universitrio em qualquer lngua. Portanto, ao se preparar para estudos complementares no
pas de foco, o aluno que completa um segmento de vero em
Middlelbury ganha um ano de estudos lingsticos, o que se traduz
em um processo acelerado de aquisio de segunda lngua.
A OPI tambm pode ser utilizada em projetos de pesquisa. No
momento, estamos realizando um estudo para determinar se os
padres da imerso lingstica realizada nos EUA diferem daqueles observados em programas realizados no Brasil durante o mesmo perodo de tempo. A anlise preliminar dos dados coletados,
nas entrevistas, sugere claras diferenas em termos de ganhos e
em repertrio ativo (sinttico e lxico) nos perfis lingsticos dos
dois grupos.

curriculares e abrem novas linhas de pesquisa, tanto na rea especfica da aquisio do Portugus como tambm no campo dos
universais lingsticos. Por todas as razes acima descritas, a OPI
parece ser, inquestionavelmente, o melhor instrumento a se utilizar
para esses fins.

This volume is both a textbook and a work
of scholarship. As a textbook, the book can
be used as a companion volume in a firstyear college-level Brazilian Portuguese class.
It can also be used in more advanced
courses that deal exclusively with pronunciation. This book relates Portuguese sounds
to their English, Spanish and/or French
equivalents and uses the Rio de Janeiro Carioca variety as its model. The book is divided into seven chapters which deal with
(1) common consonant sounds, (2) simple
oral vowels, (3) oral diphthongs, (4) stress,
(5) nasal vowels, (6) the remaining consonants, and (7) intonation. In addition to this,
the book has an appendix with nearly 7,000
words and a CD-ROM with 200 exercises

read by native Brazilian speakers, mirroring

the models from the book [LinguaText Publishers].

Portuguese Village
Announcement
on Capitol Hill
Ambassador of Portugal Joo
de Vallera (in the photo) saluted
the new Portuguese Language
Village and the audience
present at the Capitol on occasion of the official launching of
the Concordia Portuguese Village with the following speech:
I dont know if there is any other country in the world that associates, as we the Portuguese do, its national day with the figure of
a poet. Dont take this rare, and maybe unique feature, as an
eccentricity, or a mere expression of our known aptitude and love
for poetry because it represents in the case of this more than
860 year old nation-state a recognition of the crucial importance
of language, not only as an element of identity, but also as a bridge
between different peoples and cultures. The Portuguese language
is not the property of the 14 million Portuguese that live in their
motherland and a bit more than 200 million citizens in five different continents, all of them in the course of developing increasingly
important relations with the USA and with growing and expressive communities living in this country. It is the sixth most spoken
native language in the world, and the third most spoken European
language. One in three South Americans and one in five in the
western hemisphere speaks Portuguese. It is the official language
of different international organizations like the European Union,
the African Union, the Organization of American States and the
Mercosur. It is increasingly a critical language for science, for
international communication and for the virtual world of internet,
besides providing a direct access to different vibrant literatures
and cultures.
Language skills and cultural knowledge are fundamental in todays
global world, certainly on a macro-scale to ensure a better de8

gree of knowledge and understanding amongst different countries

and civilizations and to support the economic integration process,
but also at individual level to attain professional success and personal satisfaction. More and more, educational, economic, and political sectors understand and actively promote the need for introducing the teaching of foreign languages in Americas academic
curriculum, where the Portuguese language deserves, for the mutual benefit of Portugal, of the wide Lusophone world and of the
USA, for the further strengthening of the transatlantic links, to be
granted a status more in accordance with its importance and instrumental value, as well as with its recognition by the American authorities as a language of strategic priority (for the national security).
There are main reasons why I feel particularly honored to attend
the presentation of the fifteenth Concordia Language Village, an
inclusive and commendable initiative we have supported from scratch
without hesitation; why I would like to express my recognition and
public appreciation to President Patricia Jollicoeur, to executivedirector Christine Schultz and to Concordia Language Village Director of summer youth programs Patricia Thornton, all their collaborators and members of the Steering Committee; why I would
like to applaud the Luso-American Foundation and it distinguished
CEO, Dr. Rui Machete steadily involved in the promotion of the
Portuguese language and culture and the integration of the Portuguese communities in the relations between both our countries and
peoples for the generous financial support they brought to this
project; why I would like to stress more than symbolic meaning of
this ceremony taking place in the Congress of the USA; and finally
why I would like to warmly thank all the Senators and Members of
the House of Representatives that chose to share this moment with
us. I look forward to having the opportunity to witness personally,
next year, how a group of children and youngsters will understand
the real meaning of the poet Fernando Pessoas words my homeland is the Portuguese language. [Joo de Vallera, October 24,
2007].
