This paper presents some results obtained from a Master’s research study whose objective was to suggest principles for the teaching of Portuguese as a Welcoming Language - PWLg - (AMADO, 2013; LOPEZ, 2016; LOPEZ & DINIZ, in press; among others) for forcibly displaced immigrants in Brazil. Supported by Indisciplinary Applied Linguistics (MOITA LOPES, 2006), the present work analyzes the discourse of coordinators, teachers, and students in order to highlight their perspectives on the process of teaching and learning Portuguese in this context. Based on the results, I suggest the teaching of PWLg to be based on some principles of Interculturality (MAHER, 2007), established through two main dimensions of action: the immigrants’ political strengthening and the surrounding education.
