Schooling In Little Portugal: The Portuguese ExperienceLibertucci, Amelia 11 August 2011 (has links)
This thesis examines the problem of low educational attainment rates of Portuguese-
Canadian students in the areas of “Little Portugal” and West Toronto. Interviews were
conducted with former students, teachers, administrators, and community leaders who
have all experienced or are linked to the public education system in those areas of
Toronto. The question, “why has there been a low educational attainment rate among
Portuguese-Canadian students in Toronto?” was asked of the interviewees. The first
three chapters provide background information regarding the struggles of the Portuguese in their homeland as well as Portuguese immigrants in Toronto in order to contextualize the information garnered through the interviews. The final two chapters present the thoughts of the interviewees, regarding the subject matter, which were collected during the study.

Estudio sociolingüístico de las interferencias fonéticas-fonológicas de inmigrantes portugueses en Venezuela según relatos de vida: una orientación interculturalPrato Duarte, Viana Carolina 15 February 2021 (has links)
[ES] Este trabajo de investigación trata sobre las interferencias fonéticas-fonológicas presentes en relatos de vida de inmigrantes portugueses en Venezuela. La utilidad de este estudio radica en el hecho de que el fenómeno migratorio es universal, en el que dos culturas se encuentran, influyéndose mutuamente, por lo que la comprensión del principal vehículo integrador como lo es la lengua debe ser objeto de estudio minucioso. Nuestro objetivo de investigación es explicar las interferencias lingüísticas en el discurso oral de los inmigrantes portugueses que llegaron a Venezuela en el periodo 1950 a 1980, conforme a la clasificación de las interferencias fonéticas- fonológicas de Porto (2009), Niño (2007) y Obediente (2007). Utilizamos un cuestionario y la técnica de la entrevista. La muestra estuvo constituida por 26 sujetos elegidos al azar. Utilizamos el Software Atlas ti versión 8.0 para identificar la frecuencia de las interferencias fonéticas - fonológicas en los relatos de vida. En conclusión, se observa un estancamiento en la evolución de la interlengua, es decir se evidencia una fosilización de L2. La edad al emigrar aparece como un factor determinante en la adquisición de la L2, a la hora de adquirir una integración sociolingüística identitaria. Este factor se muestra como elemento predictivo de una mejor integración y de una menor frecuencia de interferencias fonéticas. / [CA] Aquest treball de recerca tracta sobre les interferències fonètiques-fonològiques presents en relats de vida d'immigrants portuguesos a Veneçuela. La utilitat d'aquest estudi radica en el fet que el fenomen migratori és universal, en el qual dues cultures es troben, influint-se mútuament, per la qual cosa la comprensió del principal vehicle integrador com ho és la llengua ha de ser objecte d'estudi minuciós. El nostre objectiu d'investigació és explicar les interferències lingüístiques en el discurs oral dels immigrants portuguesos que van arribar a Veneçuela en el període 1950 a 1980, conforme a la classificació de les interferències fonètiques-fonològiques de Porto (2009), Niño (2007) i Obediente (2007). Utilitzem un qüestionari i la tècnica de l'entrevista. La mostra va estar constituïda per 26 subjectes triats a l'atzar. Utilitzem el Programari Atlas ti versió 8.0 per a identificar la freqüència de les interferències fonètiques -fonològiques en els relats de vida. En conclusió, s'observa un estancament en l'evolució de la interllengua, és a dir s'evidencia una fossilització de L2. L'edat en emigrar apareix com un factor determinant en l'adquisició de la L2, a l'hora d'adquirir una integració sociolingüística identitària. Aquest factor es mostra com a element predictiu d'una millor integració i d'una menor freqüència d'interferències fonètiques. / [EN] This research work deals with the phonetic-phonological interferences present in the life stories of Portuguese immigrants in Venezuela. The usefulness of this study lies in the fact that the migratory phenomenon, in which two cultures meet and influence one another, is universal, so the understanding of the main integrative vehicle as the language must be carefully studied. Our research objective is to classify linguistic interference in the oral discourse of Portuguese immigrants who arrived in Venezuela in the period 1950 to 1980, according to the classification of phonetic-phonological interferences of Porto (2009), Niño (2007) and Obediente (2007). We use a questionnaire and interview techniques. The sample consisted of 26 randomly chosen subjects. We use the Atlas Ti software version 8.0 to identify the frequency of phonetic - phonological interferences in life stories. In conclusion, there is a stagnation in the evolution of the interlanguage, that is, a fossilization of L2 is evident. Age when emigrating appears as a determining factor in the acquisition of L2, when acquiring an identity sociolinguistic integration. This factor is shown as a predictive element of better integration and a lower frequency of phonetic interferences. / Prato Duarte, VC. (2021).

Immigrant acculturation and mental health of Portuguese women living in South AfricaPereira, Jennavive Lagoa 02 1900 (has links)
This study aims to gain an understanding of the mental health and acculturative experiences of Portuguese women who immigrated to South Africa in the 1960s. A qualitative research design was utilised with semi-structured interviews to gain information from four Portuguese female immigrants. Thematic analysis reveals experiences of acculturative stress and a difficult assimilation process. The main difficulties were: poor proficiency in the host country’s local languages; availability of social and organisational support; access to medical services; and access to mental health services. These factors were linked to the occurrence of the mental health problems of: depression, isolation, and being actively discriminated against by the dominant Afrikaner community during the apartheid years. The respondents’ poor proficiency in English and their unwillingness to learn Afrikaans, combined with a fear of stigmatisation hampered their willingness to access psychological and mental health services. The negative factors were mitigated by the protective factors of: the traditional family structure, formal community organisations (societies and clubs), and the church. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
