ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the introduction of innovations in the teaching of Portugues comoLingua deHeranca in relation to the organizational changes developed in two complementary schools: the one in Barcelona that includes language instruction and another in London. These schools were developed independently of each other, with the London school predating the Barcelona school. Both focus schools are presented with a description of their educational contexts as well as their procedural and organizational innovations. The teaching of Brazilian Portuguese as a Heritage Language is a phenomenon. The chapter draws on data collected from the two focus Brazilian complementary schools between December 2014 and February 2015 in London and Barcelona. The data provided by each participant were transcribed in Portuguese and then initially analyzed according to the categories set in the interview guide and the questionnaire used in the semi-structured interviews.
