This presentation discusses the contextual and theoretical assumptions of the project Trovoada de Ideias – Linguistic and Social Inclusion of Students from Portuguese-Speaking African Countries (PALOP) in Portuguese Higher Education*, an ongoing action research on Portuguese language teaching in a specific emerging context. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the internationalisation processes within the Portuguese higher education, here seen as one of the key channels for the internationalisation of the Portuguese language and, specifically, for the historical presence of international PALOP students in Portugal. By adopting a multidimensional inclusion approach (linguistic, cultural and social), the ultimate aim is to contribute to a deeper knowledge of the factors of (in)comprehension between students fluent in different norms of Portuguese and the university host community in Portugal, thereby enhancing the success of learning and the integration of international African students within the academic community in Portugal.This project is coordinated by Ana Raquel Matias (CIES-IUL; ISCTE-IUL) and Paulo Feytor Pinto (CELGA/ILTEC; APEDI)
