Macau Polytechnic Institute (IPM) President Lei Heong Iok said yesterday he expected his institute to publish a new Portuguese textbook, the fourth in a series of books, for Chinese-speaking students in the whole nation in September.
Lei made the remarks after the opening ceremony of a six-day training course for local and mainland Portuguese-language teachers on the IPM campus in Zape.
According to Lei, there are around 30 higher education institutions in the mainland running Portuguese-language courses, but most of their teachers are rather junior and lack suitable teaching materials.
