This paper aims to propose reflections upon the concept and didactic practices of Portuguese as a Welcoming Language (PLAc), a subarea of Portuguese as an Additional Language (PLA) dedicated to the teaching-learning of Portuguese for crisis migrants (CLOCHARD, 2007). Recent studies conducted by Brazilian authors have questioned the original notion of PLAc conveyed in Portugal by Ançã (2008), Grosso (2010), among others. Brazilian theorists point out the neocolonising (DINIZ, 2015) and assimilationist (ANUNCIAÇÃO, 2017; 2018) character of the Portuguese meaning of PLAc, which vaults the Portuguese language to the fundamental condition for the success of migrant community within the migrant-receiving country, silencing their linguistic, cultural, and epistemic baggage in the name of alleged social integration. Given these issues, I talked to six migrants from different nationalities and migratory trajectories in order to understand their perceptions about the teaching of Portuguese in Brazil in a migratory context. In this dialogue, I realize that, for the migrant individual, as important as knowing the local language - which facilitates their social transit - is the mobilization of their languages, cultures and knowledge in the PLAc classroom and beyond, in true actions of languaging (MATURANA, 1990; VERONELLI, 2019; MIGNOLO, 2020). KEYWORDS: Portuguese as a Welcoming Language; Portuguese as an Additional Language; crisis migration.
