Generative linguistics and grammar in Primary Education

This paper aims to relate the generative assumptions and possible collaborations they have given to the "teaching" of Portuguese. With a methodology of research and reflection, it investigates the contribution of the concepts of generative theory and related studies to her in three areas related to the classroom: (a) the delivered content, what is meant by grammar; (b) the effectiveness of teaching materials, given the concepts that express; and (c) the teaching practices, difficulties and issues in "teaching" the mother tongue and the teaching methodology. Is adopted as theoretical frameworks, Chomsky's research (1965 and underlying works) to the basic concepts of Principles and Parameters Theory, the theory Kato (2005) on the grammar of the literate, the proposed VanPatten (2003) on the input and output, the precursor work of Silva (2013) which relates gerativismo and teaching, and the papers of Neves (1994), Costa and Barin (2003) and Pilati (2014) on the current reality of the classroom. It concludes that the gerativismo has contributed indeed with concepts that can mitigate the problems faced in "teaching" mother tongue and bring a significant change to education. The need for innovation in teaching practices is imminent and linguistic studies have proven the delay and inefficiency of the methodologies used in the school.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE TEACHER ALFABETIZADOR: THE TEXT BOOK AND THE GRAMMAR IN THE TEACHING OF THE WRITTEN MOTHER TONGUE

The Practice of Reading, Writing Papers and Linguistic Analysis in Teaching Portuguese: A Proposal for the Organization of Everyday School Life from the Perspective of Multiliteracies

This paper aims to reflect on the teaching of Portuguese language in the context of twenty-first century, taking as its starting point the proposal of multiliteracies. We propose to discuss the applicability of genres in the classroom as a condition to ensure the construction of fundamental knowledge to social practices of language. For this, we rely on recent studies on the possibilities that the genre can bring to practice reading, writing papers, and linguistic analysis. We intend, therefore, to assist the planning of teachers who still find themselves unsure on curricula that suggest what they have to do, but did not say how. Understand the reason why this work is another contribution to the teaching of Portuguese in the final years of elementary school and high school bringing out a space for discussion about what needs to be taught and some teaching procedures that favor the democratization of school and interaction linguistics. Curricular innovations and new ways of thinking about teaching and learning of mother tongue are already part of the reflections of most professionals, but there is still an open field to think of more effective alternatives through multimodality an interactionist conception of language.

Projections of teachers images by speeches: representations and memories

This article aims to illuminate the representations driven by a group of educators on teaching status. The premise that guides this study is that our beliefs and our values are consolidated in the practices in which we participate. Then, it presents something and updates to this represented, in accordance with our life story, with our individual experiences, through the interactions. For this study, interview responses were recorded, which were analyzed in order to map the movements of representations. Therefore, proposed a methodological approach, based on a linguistic-textual-discursive approach, in light of sociointeractionists principles, as seen in the catch in speech of participants, regularities that may reveal new images or enhance those teachers settings established. Explanatory and interpretative nature; qualitative approach, this research has made us realize how discourses can reveal representations, guided by the collective and individual actions, which constitute the process of building professional teaching figure. The discussed examples show that in speech, educators, project images and meanings anchored in a memory, and these are reflected in elaborate models and shared teachers today redefines the roles, positions and representations with respect to being and do teaching.
