- Uma “educação de qualidade” para os migrantes e o desenvolvimento da pronúnciaPublication . Castelo, AdelinaA pronúncia constitui uma competência importante para todos os aprendentes de línguas não maternas, sobretudo para os que usam diariamente a linguagem oral com fins comunicativos e desejam ser integrados na comunidade de falantes da língua-alvo sem serem prejudicados profissional e socialmente pelo seu nível de proficiência linguística. Este é precisamente o caso dos migrantes num país de acolhimento. No entanto, para assegurar o desenvolvimento adequado da sua pronúncia, é necessário proporcionar-lhes oportunidades de aprendizagem ao longo da vida que sejam acessíveis (quanto a tempo e custos financeiros). Tal esforço enquadra-se no ODS da Agenda 2030 de garantir uma “educação de qualidade” para todos, que contribuirá igualmente para a concretização de ODSs como “erradicar a pobreza” e “reduzir as desigualdades” (Centro de Informação Regional das Nações Unidas para a Europa Ocidental, 2016). Assim, esta apresentação visa mostrar como se pode ajudar os migrantes a aceder a uma educação de qualidade no âmbito do desenvolvimento da pronúncia. Incluirá quatro partes: (1) motivar a abordagem explícita da pronúncia, segundo a literatura (e.g. Grant, 2014); (2) mostrar o que é necessário para desenvolver uma melhor pronúncia (e.g. Celce-Murcia et al., 2010; Castelo, 2022); (3) ilustrar indicações para os migrantes usarem vários recursos digitais gratuitos a fim de praticarem a sua pronúncia, nomeadamente vídeos do YouTube, aplicações móveis, tradutores online e cursos online (e.g. Liakin et al., 2015); (4) sugerir formas de fazer chegar estas indicações aos migrantes e de aumentar a sua consciência e autonomia na aprendizagem ao longo da vida.
- Plural identity and migrant communities in guy gunaratne’s in our mad and furious city (2018)Publication . Martins, MargaridaThis paper explores the complexity of plural identities of the characters living within the sociocultural space of a London community, who define themselves as being from “here” and “elsewhere,” in Guy Gunaratne’s In Our Mad and Furious City (2018). First-generation and second-generation migrants, originally from Ireland, Pakistan, Ja- maica, as well as other nations referred to in the novel, give life to the community at the Ends, a housing estate in Northwest London. On the one hand, in this suburban space, fury, neglect and powerlessness are deeply felt by the locals. However, the community also becomes the location for the creation of social habits, cultural patterns, forms of ex- pression and group unity through the interaction and shared experiences of the locals. This dichotomy reveals underlying anxieties that raise questions about otherness, marginalisa- tion and belonging, and how these aspects intersect in the construction of cultural identity. As characters struggle for meaning against a “cancel culture,” their individual experiences are what constitutes their plural and fluid identities.
- Postcolonialism and the role of the Booker Prize in the God of Small Things (1997) and The Inheritance of Loss (2006)Publication . Martins, MargaridaThis article discusses the Man Booker Prize winning novels The God of Small Things (1997) by Arundhati Roy and The Inheritance of Loss (2006) by Kiran Desai. The Booker Prize having been awarded to a number of Indian English writers over the decades, has contributed to the popularity of Indian writing in English, promoting knowledge and raising awareness on different social, cultural and linguistic concerns relating to India. However, The God of Small Things and The Inheritance of Loss, through their non-linear narrative in English also depict the effects of Westernisation and globalisation in the postcolonial Indian society. This argument leads to a discussion of the narratives, and the themes these deal with, as examples of contemporary Anglophone Indian novels written in a postcolonial framework, while also analysing the role of the publishing industry and the commodification processes related to prize winning novels.

- Stateless: to belong nowherePublication . Martins, Margarida“Stateless asks important questions about where and to whom we belong, what constitutes home, and what our moral obligation is to one another. Unfortunately, it doesn’t give its refugees the chance to answer for themselves” (Fontoura 2020). The Australian mini-series which aired on Netflix in 2020 spans six episodes and focuses on the daily struggles and interactions at a detention centre for migrants and refugees seeking political asylum in Australia. The socio-political message of the series is the stateless identity characters like Ameer and his daughter Mina, Rosna, Javad and his family, and Farid have been subjected to while inhabiting this indefinite intermediate zone that exists between their home country (they have fled from) and the host country they await residency for.
