Na Crista da Onda is a pedagogical project in 4 levels (from A1 to B2) of teaching Portuguese as a Foreign Language, Non Native Language, as a Second Language and Heritage Language, aimed at a young audience. This method favours a communicative approach by competences and tasks (task-based), as all the proposed activities are organised in order to establish different pathways, leading the learner towards the objectives of the final tasks.
This method allows a practical use in a classroom situation with students of different proficiency levels, having an approach and methodology common to all volumes, with current, motivating and interesting themes for the young people, promoting a continuity and harmonisation in the teaching-learning process.

Na Crista da Onda 1 is aimed at elementary users of the Portuguese language, whose language proficiency level corresponds to level A1, according to the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Framework of Reference for Portuguese Teaching Abroad (QuaREPE).
It aims to explore and develop reception and production skills, leading the student to communicate in Portuguese and allowing him/her to get to know various aspects of Portuguese culture.
This first level consists of eight units, each containing authentic and up-to-date texts and contextualised exercises. At the end of each unit, the student will find a section made up only of exercises that enable the revision and consolidation of the contents learned.
It includes an audio with the texts and exercises marked in the Student`s Book available at www.lidel.pt/download-conteudos/.
Na Crista da Onda comprises a Teacher`s Book for each level, where the objectives of each unit and the teaching and learning strategies are described, proposing the activities to be developed in class. It also includes the solutions of the Student`s Book exercises and the transcriptions of the texts and exercises of the audio files.

Na Crista da Onda provides a comprehensive set of learning resources covering four language levels (A1 a B2). The manual is aimed at adolescents and young adults with a basic knowledge of Portuguese. The approach is based on completing meaningful tasks to develop the students` communication skills when learning Portuguese. These manuals teach the learner not only to use correct grammatical and lexically appropriate structures, but also to interact in various social contexts.
Na Crista da Onda 1 (A1) comprises 8 units designed to simplify the learning process using texts that are authentic, stimulating and dynamic. Over the course of the different units, diverse vocabulary activities are provided in conjunction with artwork and practical interactive speaking exercises. Reading skills are trained by means of texts focused on the learners` everyday life, while listening skills are taught using communicational exercises and activities suited to each language level. All texts are provided in audio format to help developing listening skills.
The language sections present simple grammar explanations and tables in a progressive manner adjusted to the students` communication needs. Writing and reading skills are conveyed through interaction-oriented activities based on the topic at hand and aimed at applying what was learned in the unit.
Working in groups, students talk and listen to their classmates while analysing, summarising and presenting to develop their communications skills. Another feature is the Quiosque Cultural (Culture Kiosk), where students broaden their sociocultural horizons through activities based on cultural aspects and trivia.
At the end of each unit, students can assess their progress by responding to a short self-test questionnaire.
The audio files are available for download at www.lidel.pt/en/download-contents/.
