Variação linguística na perspectiva de professores de língua portuguesa do município de Esteio

Abstract

This article deals with the perspective of Portuguese language teachers in the municipality of Esteio-RS regarding linguistic variations in the classroom. Linguistic variation consists of the set of different ways of speaking, directly or indirectly influenced by social, cultural, economic and individual factors, resulting or not from the interaction between social groups and other external elements. In the school context, the theme of linguistic variation can be approached considering the particularities of the community and students, since the coexistence of these variations, without pedagogical guidance, can lead to an accentuation of linguistic prejudice in the classroom. This research had a qualitative approach in which a bibliographical research was carried out based on theorists and reflections that bring concepts and relevance of the theme. Scholars such as ALKMIN (2001) BAGNO (2007) and ANTUNES (2003) were used, as well as some documents that guide the pedagogical practice: National Curriculum Parameters and Common National Curriculum Base. A field study was carried out through a questionnaire aimed at Portuguese language teachers from the municipal education network in the city of Esteio-RS, in order to collect data on the perspective of professionals on linguistic variation. By analyzing the data obtained from the questionnaire, it was evident that, in their practice, teachers recognize the importance of respecting variations and promoting debate on the topic, as a means of exploring language. It was also analyzed the attitude of teachers in face of lines with variations in Portuguese language classes, in order to reflect if their practice meets what concerns the teaching of linguistic variation in the discussed authors and guiding documents.
