The treatment that the school gives to the linguistic variety of the elementary school student in a rural school, Imperatriz-MA

Abstract

This study seeks to investigate how the linguistic variety of students from rural schools, from rural schools, is treated by the elementary school teacher, from the public school system. Therefore, a qualitative research was carried out in a school in the rural area, in the city of Imperatriz - MA, specifically in the Estrada do Arroz pole. The main research resources were observations, interviews and document analysis (students' texts). The reasoning was sought in theorists such as Bagno (1999), Bortoni-Ricardo (2004; 2005), Coelho et al. (2018), Marinho (2008), among others. The results show small changes in the rural education scenario, especially with regard to the teaching of Portuguese Language, in which the language takes on socially-oriented perspectives and situations such as saying wrong or right are replaced by the linguistic notion of adequacy. and inadequacy. However, there are still issues that deserve to be rethought in pedagogical practice, among them: the teachers' behavior when dealing with linguistic variation in the classroom. It is observed that interventions are generally limited, as teachers feel insecure about the moment to intervene, especially in oral events. Finally, the present study aims to contribute to the promotion of a more conscious and democratic teaching.
