Políticas Linguísticas e multilinguismo em uma escola no interior do Paraná

Abstract

This paper has as context four localities of the rural area of Prudentópolis - PR, that are known by the descendants of the residents, who are relatively related to the Slavic immigrants (Ukrainian and Polish). Participants in this research still today use immigrant languages for interactions within the community; With this, many children have these languages as their mother tongue. The focus of the work is on the linguistic uses of these children and the teachers in the school context, understanding that these uses are situated linguistic policies, which in turn are guided by linguistic ideologies. These subjects, in their uses, appropriate and (re-) signify official linguistic policies. In this way, the objectives of this research are: 1. to investigate the linguistic policies in the interactions carried out in the communities and in the two multisite schools in which these students study, as well as to analyze these policies constructed by these subjects in the actions related to the school context; 3. to reflect how the linguistic ideologies of the subjects constitute and are constituted by the linguistic policies produced in these actions and 4. to investigate how the school works with these students, focusing on the languages used in the school context. In order to meet these objectives, it was necessary to conduct an ethnographic research, with observations of classes and the school context in a broader way, notes in field diary, class recordings and semi structured interviews with class teachers and students' parents. The analyzes of the data indicate that the subjects of these communities produce linguistic policies related to the Slavic languages and also to the Portuguese languages spoken in this context, demarcating linguistic borders and also promoting legitimation and delegitimation of these languages. As far as the school process is concerned, it can be seen that, in the analyzed school, the subjects promote a pedagogical policy culturally sensitive to the monolingual teaching, so that the teacher not only allows the use of the immigrant languages by its students, but also works Using these languages in classroom interactions. However, in subjects related to the contents of the textbook, which involve writing and reading, the Portuguese language predominates. With this research it was possible to perceive that the subjects promote localized linguistic policies, which dialogue with the official policies and orient and are guided by linguistic ideologies.
