2011年9月19日，由外国语学院开设的葡萄牙语课程，在乐育楼C311成功地完成第一次授课。本课程的教师是拥有葡萄牙文学博士学位，并具有多年高校教学经验的葡萄牙籍教授Prof. Luisa Carvalho，与其他课程不同的是，本课程的听众都是来自全校各个学院热爱语言的老师们。
首先，Prof. Luisa Carvalho讲解了一些简单的日常问候语，让大家逐渐熟悉并适应了葡语的表达方式。然后，她又列出了许多蕴含深刻美好含义的葡语名供大家挑选，让大家在挑选姓名的过程中体验学习的乐趣。最后，Prof. Luisa Carvalho还系统地介绍了葡萄牙语的发音规则和一些简单的口语表达及语法现象。为了突出口语的重要性，Prof. Luisa Carvalho安排大家分小组练习日常用语。在讲座过程中整场气氛非常活跃，老师们纷纷就发音、语调等问题和Prof. Luisa Carvalho展开了探讨和研究，大家都深深的沉浸在学习葡语的氛围中。
第一堂葡萄牙语课程在老师们高涨的热情中圆满结束了。我院在本学期同时向全校学生开设葡萄牙语通识选修课，旨在帮助我校老师和学生们拓宽知识面，了解西方文化。由于珠海毗邻澳门，珠澳两地交流频繁，学习这门语言的人必将大大提高自己的竞争力。

The first Portuguese class for teachers was offered by Professor Luisa Carvalho from the School of Foreign Languages in Room C311 of Leyu Building at 8:00 a.m. on September 19th, 2011. Professor Luisa Carvalho owns a PhD in Portuguese Literature and has rich experience in higher education. The distinguished feature is that the students in the class are teachers from different schools in our university.
First of all, Professor Luisa Carvalho guided the teachers into the world of Portuguese by providing them with a plenty of Portuguese names to choose from. She taught some simple expressions in daily life, such as “my name is …” and “what is your name?” She also organized games among the teachers to help them to practice those expressions. By participating in the games, the teachers loved the beautiful pronunciation of Portuguese and enjoyed learning it. At last, the Professor briefly introduced the pronunciation of Portuguese alphabet and grammar use. The whole class was brimmed with passion and curiosity of the teachers, who just started their journey of learning Portuguese.
The first Portuguese class ended successfully. Portuguese is the new elective course in our school, aiming at broadening both teachers and students'' horizon and enlarging their knowledge of western culture. Learning Portuguese is also an effective way to increase their competitiveness, for the frequent communication between Zhuhai and Macau.
