Abstract
The current international migratory flows bring a new reality to many Brazilian cities and point to the need for actions that allow the integration of the migratory population in our society. Understanding the offer of courses aimed at teaching the Portuguese language as an instrument of reception policy for immigrants and refugees, and aware of the demands for specific didactic materials aimed at teaching Portuguese as an Additional Language (hereinafter PAL) that meet this new reality in Brazil, we share in this article our classroom experiences with the teaching of Portuguese to a group of 30 Haitians, seeking to contribute to reflections about the teaching of Portuguese in this specific context. To do so, we describe the decisions taken along the course regarding the classes and didactic materials used, taking into account the profile of the students and the context in which they were inserted. Based on our reports, we hope to collaborate with teachers who are involved in the teaching of Portuguese for Immigrants and Refugeesin Brazilian contexts in which the migratory flow is a reality.

A Mudança da Política Externa Brasileira para Imigrantes e Refugiados: o Caso da Imigração Haitiana no início do Século XXI
Summary
Segundo informações do Departamento de Migração da Polícia Federal sobre imigrantes cadastrados até agosto de 20179, há 2.097.000 de imigrantes vivendo no Brasil. A oferta de aulas de português para um grupo de imigrantes e refugiados na Lomba do Pinheiro é uma das ações promovidas pela Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)[12], através de seu Centro de Pastoral e Solidariedade e do curso de Letras da Escola de Humanidades, em parceria com o Cáritas Arquidiocesana de Porto Alegre, com a Paróquia Santa Clara e o Conselho Popular da Lomba do Pinheiro, em Porto Alegre. A definição prévia dos temas a serem abordados nas aulas partiram de conversas realizadas entre representantes da Letras e da Pastoral com o Frei e outros representantes da Paróquia Santa Clara, que, por estarem inseridos no contexto da comunidade da Lomba do Pinheiro, estavam de certa forma mais familiarizados com a realidade desses imigrantes moradores da região e com suas necessidades em relação ao aprendizado da língua. As aulas previam a familiarização a situações cotidianas a partir de textos orais e escritos
