A escuta em pauta - da BNCC aos livros didáticos de língua portuguesa.

Abstract

This paper defends listening as a teaching object in Portuguese language classes, through the comprehension of oral and multimedia texts. In the literature review, a synthesis of the course of studies on orality in Brazil is presented, including, at this moment, the specificities of the oral text, and the space given to orality in official national normative documents and Portuguese language books. The concept of listening is discussed from the point of view of applied linguistics and its importance in modern society is highlighted. Listening is understood as a socio-psycholinguistic activity, a collaborative attitude, and a conscious intellectual effort to interpret what the other person says. It is indicated that listening is an essential social value for life in society, being synonymous with respect and empathy, an instrument for mediating conflicts and acquiring knowledge. It is in this sense that it is seen as socio-emotional competence. The general objective of this paper is to analyze how BNCC listening skills are worked on the 9th-year Portuguese language books - approved in the PNLD 2020 and 2024. The method used to achieve the intention is qualitative documentary research, according to the precepts of Moreira e Caleffe (2008) e Bortoni-Ricardo (2008), who guide the understanding of the interpretivist perspective used in this research. In this sense, discussing specifically the listening skills proposed by the BNCC for Portuguese language classes, it is identified that listening appears either explicitly or with implicit references in the national normative document, so that are highlighted listening skills in the reading axis, in the orality axis and the linguistic and semiotic analysis axis. In the analysis of the PNLD 2020 and 2024 books, activities are distinguished as “an end in itself” or “adjunct” to thematic feeding and text production. Linguistic analysis in oral texts is less common but occurs transversally. It is understood that listening can be guided, so some significant activities identified in the corpus are compiled in a catalog available in this work and online in the site https://sites.google.com/view/aescutaempauta. Therefore, it is hoped that this research will contribute to Portuguese language classes, as we believe that teaching listening is educating for life.
