Crenças de futuros professores sobre ensino de língua portuguesa: um olhar sobre a variação.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the undergraduate pedagogy beliefs about linguistics variation. The students interviewed are from the formal and distance education of Pedagogy Graduation inUniversidade Federal de Alagoas – UFAL, in order to prove the hypothesis that the treatment of the theme in the course would be superficial, which could lead students to develop beliefs that would lead to wrong attitudes. Based on Labov (2008), Faraco (2008), Bortoni-Ricardo (2008) and Santos (1996), the research carried out in this study is quali-quantitative, as it is a data collection based on in the survey, obtained based on responses to questionnaires specific to the topic. As a result, we conclude that the approach to linguistic variation in Pedagogy courses can even be superficial, proving our initial hypothesis, making teachers cultivate the belief that there is a single correct variety, propagating a mistaken notion of the language that must be combated.
