Conhecimentos linguístico-discursivos na sala de aula de língua portuguesa: desenvolvendo “táticas” para desobedecer a propostas prontas.

Abstract

This paper proposes a reflection about the practical work carried out with the linguistic discursive knowledge in the Portuguese language classroom. After general reflections concerning teaching and learning of such knowledge, it is presented an analysis of a textbook exercise, focusing the following points: the type of knowledge conveyed and the form of exploration of this knowledge. It is concluded that the proposals for teaching continue to suggest an "application of contents", combining them to practices which are recognizably "traditional" and that the teacher is frequently "confined" in what pre-establishes the speech of the producers (DE CERTEAU, 1996). Henceforth, it is discussed the necessary education for the teacher of mother language so as to be in condition to "disobey" what is already established (DE CERTEAU, 1996; SANTOS, 2007, 2008).
