Educação linguística: das variantes não prestigiadas para a variante de prestígio

Abstract

The present study intended to answer how we can lead the pupils in basic education to master the prestige variant without discrediting the other variants, which they may or may not have more access. The study has as main objective to contribute to the implementation of an effective Educational Linguistics (EL) by presenting the Sociolinguistics and EL and their contributions to the teaching of Portuguese; investigating how the work on variations may contribute to a more effective EL; and developing a teaching sequence that could be applied in a ninth-grade Middle School class following the EL studies and then contemplating the linguistic variations. In a theoretical and practical disposition, the methodology of the study is based on literature relevant to the issue, followed by the writing of a theoretical substantiation rooted in EL and Sociolinguistics. The work with non-prestige variants led to the Cordel Literature, explored in its theoretical foundation to benefit the development of the teaching sequence previously mentioned. The results of the study attended the proposed objectives in which the elaboration of the teaching sequence was embedded in the manners proposed by EL, looking at the linguistic variations and emphasizing the prestige variant, which must be worked at the school above all variants although escaping from the old methodology that was based on rote memorization of grammar rules and nomenclature
