Background:
The Center for Studies in Languages, Reading and
Writing, also identified by the acronym NELLE, a nonpartisan,
non-profit civil organization, was established at
the inaugural meeting held on October 20, 2014 in room 1
of the Department of Education of the Federal University
of Lavras, drawn up in the minutes book and governed
by statutes. The center emerged from the need of the
professors of the UFLA Department of Education to create
a space for discussion and studies concerning language in
its different forms of expression, as well as reflection on the
processes of reading and writing as socially constructed
practices.
Overall Objectives:

undergraduate and graduate students in the area of
language, reading and writing with the purpose of
organizing studies, courses, lectures, debates and events
that may contribute to the theme.
