Variação lexical e ensino da língua portuguesa em Moçambique.

Abstract

Teaching in Mozambican schools is done in Portuguese, however, the Portuguese language is taught according to the standard norm of European Portuguese. Many Mozambicans do not have Portuguese as their mother tongue and Portuguese spoken outside of school is Mozambican Portuguese, which has marked differences from European Portuguese. Mozambican Portuguese receives a lot of lexicon from the national Bantu languages and that teaching Portuguese in Mozambique means taking into account this sociolinguistic particularity that the school does not observe. The objective of this work is to analyze the lexical variation and the teaching of the lexicon in Mozambican schools, looking at how the school should treat the linguistic varieties spoken by the students because the school teaches the European standard norm that is not the variety spoken by majority of the Portuguese-speaking Mozambican population. To this end, we use works that speak about Mozambican Portuguese and knowledge of the linguistic situation of Mozambique as a researcher. In terms of results, it appears that there is a need for the school to accommodate other varieties of Portuguese that are not the standard norm, to incorporate the lexicon derived from these varieties and other national languages in the teaching-learning process.
