Ensino de Língua Portuguesa na Educação Bilíngue.

Abstract

This work deals with the teaching of the Portuguese language in the indigenous school context, since we live in a multicultural society. Thus, the adaptation of Portuguese is frequent and is of great importance because it is the official language in this region, especially by the natives who had to get accustomed to the presence of the Portuguese language in the school context. The main objective of this research is to clarify how Portuguese language teaching is being carried out within the indigenous school community. In this way, it is perceived that the Portuguese language is subject to be a main point of departure for those who are required to have mastery of it as a second language, for their professional training. From this perspective, indigenous school education aims to bring knowledge and skills in the understanding of the second language, that is, to make future young people bilingual. This research was based on the ideologies of two great authors as in Maher (2006), Savedra (1994) and has as a source of analysis the RCNEI (1998).
