What Portuguese to teach at school? 2023-10-29T20:04:42+00:00 Edleise Mendes edleise.mendes@gmail.com Paulo Feytor Pinto paulofeytorpinto@gmail.com <p>“First we need to understand what we are calling pluricentric languages. The understanding or discussion of pluricentric languages has been in evidence lately in all sectors — in research, in teaching and also in terms of government management and language policies developed by them. Perhaps it has been a discussion left aside a little before, but, because of the need to think about the Portuguese language in a new perspective, for the 21st century, as a language of international communication, as a language of global expression, this discussion has become important."</p> 2021-12-06T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/141 Teaching Portuguese as a pluricentric language 2023-10-29T20:04:14+00:00 Ana Luí­sa Costa ablazerc@gmail.com <p>In this article, I will try to start from episodes that made me think about my practice and keep changing, in a movement of questioning from the teaching pratice in the classroom to the search for a linguistic foundation in the pedagogical way of acting. Therefore, I do not have theoretical recipes to apply, but concerns that made me have a broader perspective of cultural and linguistic tolerance (Duarte, 2008: 15), placing linguistic plurality at the center of teaching and learning grammar. If the development of linguistic awareness is a core curriculum objective to turn children's intuitive linguistic knowledge into explicit and metalinguistic knowledge, the starting point must be children's prior knowledge. This prior linguistic knowledge, which students bring to the language class and which should become an object of reflection, is “in the heads of children” (Hudson, 1992: 10) and it corresponds to their linguistic experiences: the knowledge of the familiar language(s) they have acquired, in the geographic and social varieties they use to name their world, interact with others, think and dream. What language or dialect does each of my students think and dream of?</p> 2021-12-13T12:20:32+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/137 Portuguese as a non-native language in the project #EstudoEmCasa 2023-10-29T20:04:27+00:00 Ana Josefa Cardoso ajgc1969@gmail.com Alexandre Dias Pinto diaspinto@hotmail.com <p>The project #EstudoEmCasa was one of the responses that the Ministry of Education, in partnership with Rádio Televisão Portuguesa, presented to face the difficulties and limitations with which Portuguese students in Basic and Secondary Education struggled during the pandemic that determined periods of closure of schools and home confinement of students, in the academic years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. Initially, it was, therefore, an initiative that offered students support that would allow them to progress in their learning as well as recover and/or consolidate their knowledge, in a context in which the education system was unable to function in the expected conditions.</p> 2021-12-07T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/125 Standard norm and teaching of Portuguese in Brazil 2023-10-29T20:04:57+00:00 Carlos Alberto Faraco carlosfaraco62@gmail.com <p>The question of the standard norm for written Brazilian Portuguese is open. Or, to be a little more direct, it has not yet been resolved, as it is the case with its teaching, which lacks not only a renewed pedagogy, but, above all, an object delineated with relative precision that could be recognized, by consensus, as the standard norm of contemporary written Brazilian Portuguese.<br>To understand this situation, it is necessary to go through the complicated history of this standard and observe the main characteristics of the Brazilian linguistic reality in which the processes of standardization of writing must be found.</p> 2021-11-29T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/139 Resources for a pluricentric approach of the Portuguese language with a focus on the Portuguese from Mozambique 2023-10-29T20:04:20+00:00 Carla Maciel carla.maciel@appform.pt <p>Although the pluricentric dimension of the Portuguese language is politically recognized, the practice of teaching it continues to be dominated by two norms: the European and the Brazilian. Descriptive studies carried out since the mid-1990s have indicated that the mozambican portuguese language variety already has its own characteristics. There is still no descriptive grammar for this variety, but it is necessary to take advantage of existing resources, whether descriptive studies and dictionaries of Mozambicanisms, or authentic materials demonstrating its use in everyday life, to show learners that this variety exists and differs from reference standard in the country. In this article, some resources available online are presented and some strategies are suggested for a pluricentric approach to the Portuguese language, with a focus on Portuguese from Mozambique.</p> 2021-12-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/138 Pluricentrism in Portugal 2023-10-29T20:04:24+00:00 Paulo Feytor Pinto paulofeytorpinto@gmail.com <p>At least in the case of languages, such as Portuguese, which have spread throughout the world in a political and social context of European hegemony, a more or less accentuated tendency can be observed in all countries that speak them to maintain the centrality of the norm of former colonial metropolis. In this way, the varieties of the countries that were colonized tend to be seen as less correct and/or prestigious ways of using originally European languages (Clyne, 1992: 459). This stigmatization of the norms emerging from the Other, African, American or Asian, is verified both among European speakers and among extra-European speakers of the language. This is the main obstacle, perhaps the only one, to the affirmation of the pluricentrism of languages constituted by different geographic varieties, spoken in different countries where the language is official.</p> 2021-12-07T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/126 Discover Portugal in Portuguese as a Foreign Language 2023-10-29T20:04:55+00:00 Ana Andrade anaandrade10@gmail.com Maria Jorge Sampaio maria.jorgesampaio@aemaia.com <p>This didactic sequence was presented in the context of a training action for Portuguese as a Foreign Language teachers and is aimed at students from China, who intend to live in Portugal and are adapting to the Portuguese cultural and linguistic reality.<br>Strategies leading to an effective approximation of various geographic spaces are used, with the aim of informing the student about the environment in which they will be inserted: Portugal in the world, division of the country by districts, main cities and their attractions.</p> 2021-11-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/130 Highlighted 2025-10-01T21:36:53+01:00 Luí­s Filipe Redes luis.filipe.redes@gmail.com João Costa joao.costa@medu.gov.pt <p>On May 5th, we celebrate the World Day of the Portuguese Language. By conscious political choice, this day was celebrated with cheers for what this language represents as a symbol of diversity and multiculturalism. We delight in the accents, we listen to the tones, the words that there do not mean the same as here or what we say here that is not how it is said there.<br>Today we clearly state that Portuguese is a pluricentric language. With various shades, with an easily perceptible variation and another one that, only by studying in depth, is known.<br>In this testimony that was asked to me, I leave five brief reflections, nourished by my current functions and my formation. Reflections in which the political and academic planes are mixed, because sometimes there is no way to separate them.</p> 2021-12-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/128 Highlighted 2023-10-29T20:04:46+00:00 Eulália Alexandre eulalia.alexandre@dge.mec.pt <p>The role of the school as a mediator of these top goods that are the national language and culture is undeniable.<br>Language, as an organized system that we use to establish communication between the various subjects who use the same code, according to Ferdinand de Saussure, “is, at the same time, a social product of the language faculty and a set of necessary conventions, adopted by the body to allow individuals to exercise this faculty”. Understood, therefore, as social institution, resulting from a set of conventions, established and accepted by all who belong to a linguistic collectivity, language exists as a collective body. Therefore, only with the development of sociolinguistics it was possible to more precisely characterize the relations between language and society.</p> 2021-12-04T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/133 Highlighted 2023-10-29T20:04:39+00:00 Direction of IAVE paula.simoes@iave.pt <p>The role of the school as a mediator of these top values that are the national language and culture is undeniable.<br>Aware of the pluricentric nature of the Portuguese language and the need to promote respect for different national varieties, IAVE recognizes the importance of reflecting on ways to address these varieties in the context of Portuguese classes in Basic and Secondary Education.</p> 2021-12-06T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/142 Accidental canone 2023-10-29T20:04:11+00:00 Filomena Viegas fifeca@gmail.com Noémia Jorge n.o.jorge@gmail.com Luí­s Filipe Redes luis.filipe.redes@gmail.com Maria Vitória de Sousa mariavitoriasousa2@gmail.com João Pedro Aido jpaido@gmail.com <p>Excerpts from <em>Torto Arado</em>, by Itamar Vieira Junior, <em>Para onde vão os gatos quando morrem?</em>, by Luís Cardoso, <em>Quando os cravos vermelhos cruzaram o geba</em>, by Tony Tcheka, <em>Rabhia</em>, by Lucílio Manjate, <em>Gungunhana</em>, by Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, <em>A Família Trago</em>, by Germano Almeida and <em>Antologia Poética</em>, by Maria Lúcia Alvim.</p> 2021-12-13T16:37:26+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/127 Virtual places 2023-10-29T20:04:50+00:00 João Pedro Aido jpaido@gmail.com <p>Appreciation and comments on interesting websites.</p> 2021-12-04T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2021 Palavras - revista em linha https://palavras.appform.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/143 Bibliographic highlights 2023-10-29T20:04:07+00:00 Luí­s Filipe Redes luis.filipe.redes@gmail.com Filomena Viegas fifeca@gmail.com Noémia Jorge n.o.jorge@gmail.com <ul> <li class="show">Sá, R.
