Abstract

The study object of this research is the development of the child's language. Although many teachers recognize the existence of the oral and written language, it can be noticed at daily school life that most still do not value and do not develop the language as it should do. This paper seeks to achieve the following goals: to analyze how is the development of oral and written language in 4-6 years old children; to reflect about what language is and their roles in the school's social context; to identify what are the similarities and differences between oral and written language; to identify the various ways to work these languages in teaching practice. The research is based on Marcuschi (2010), Simões (2006), Dias (2001), among others. This is an exploratory type research. The approach is qualitative and data collection instrument was a semi-structured interview. The study subjects were three teachers, one from kindegarten education and two from elementary school . The field research was a public school in Joca Claudino - PB. The study enabled us to understand that language is an important and necessary factor for the proper development of human skills and has itself changes in its social context, regarded as emancipatory elements and expressions of a group. We conclude that language development starts by a spontaneous process, but it can and should be enhanced by the pedagogical practices in order that the student can climb new levels of knowledge.
