Abstract

From the conception of language as interaction, jointly realizations in specific contexts and defined objects, this study has as main objective to analyse the conceptions of language and slang of teachers from the high school, as well as to verify the attitudes from these conceptions and their influence in the teachers' methodology. To make possible, this work was leant in theorical reflections returned to the matter of classroom (Koch, 2004; Erickson, 2001; Brait, 1995; Dettoni, 1995; Bakhtin, 1995: Delamont, 1987), from the puritain vision of language, its history and consequences for teaching (Bagno, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999; Leite, 1999; Bortoni, 1995) and the slangs researches (Preti, 2004, 2000, 1998, 1996). To the execution of the presented research, we selected twelve teachers from the high and middle school of a private establishment of Campina Grande - PB, of all the subjects that take part of the basic teaching. To collect the piece of informations, we opted to go by the semi-structured interview and to detect the slangs presence on their speaking, in which moments they were used and which functions they had. The results showed a puritain conception of language by the teachers, as the slang use, belonging to the youngs, ugly, delinquent, reflex of lecture and vocabulary absences. Despite the puritain language conception, the teachers used slangs in their classes for different purposes: to approximate their pupils, to discipline and facilitate their knowledge. However, in spite of the observed usages, remained in the teachers universe the methodological work eliminating the slans with this, set up a conflict between the conceptions and the effective uses by the language of the teachers, stimulating the slang maintenance in the place of delinquency and exclusion, reinforcing the puritain vision of language from the teachers.
