As part of an extensive research about the connection involving Language, Culture and Society in the preparation of Portuguese Language teachers developed at IP-PUC/SP, this article reflects on some proposals with the aim of updating questions related to theory and methodology on learning/teaching issues. In general, applications in progress have been concerned neither with a student centered methodology which points to the learner as the main subject of his/her learning, nor with the teacher as a tutor (helper). Currently, the compromised interaction between educator and learner has not been implemented; to a certain extent there has been a theoretical methodological inadequacy of applying profitable actions for the Portuguese language teaching-learning process.
