RESUMO

The present research is qualitative and interpretivist in its nature and has as its main objective to bring to light the conditions for the teaching and learning of Portuguese as a Foreign Language in the Côte dIvoire, particularly at the University of Abidjan- Cocody, initiated as a program a little over a decade ago. The education of foreign languages had a considerable development in the country, but in the case of the Portuguese Language it was different in the sense that, during twenty years it was taught under quite severe limitations, albeit extended to the whole Ivorian educational system. Our study was developed in that higher education institution where we tried to raise data concerning the reality (not unknown to us) of the learners, supervisors, teachers and officials responsible for the establishment of public language policies with regard to the Portuguese language in the country. For this, we carried through a case study that allowed us to collect relevant information through questionnaires, interviews, class observation etc. After defining the inherent limitations to the spreading of this language, we pointed sensitive resources and ways of conferring prominence to the offering of that target language in the country. The research also allowed direct contact with the actors of the process of spreading the language (governmental and academic authorities, professors, pupils) to discover, for example, that this language is in the process of total implementation in the country but it still badly requires an emergency support on the governments part and more efficient and perceivable linguistic and public policies. There still remains innumerable difficulties such as: scarcity of financial resources, teaching classrooms, laboratories and so on. A number of suggested initiatives are brought about in the text so that one could expect a noticeable improvement in the teaching of PLE in the Côte dIvoire.
