O ensino de português como língua adicional para indígenas no Rio Grande do Sul: uma revisão bibliográfica com foco nas tribos Kaingang e Guarani.

Abstract

This paper is the result of a qualitative and bibliographic research which aims to learn about indigenous school education in Rio Grande do Sul, more precisely, to know how the teaching of Portuguese as an additional language for speakers of indigenous mother tongues happens. The path followed goes through the main laws on the subject, what the indigenous people think about teaching and learning in their schools, how the acceptance of Portuguese as an additional language happens, how bilingual education happens in indigenous schools, and what the importance of this learning is for the development of the communities and, consequently, of our country. In the results, we present a discussion with the main authors cited in the research and, at the end, we bring in the considerations the gaps that the courses of literature present by addressing little or almost nothing about education and bilingual education to indigenous people, being this a very important subject for the reflection of the undergraduates.
