O que indicam as práticas de translinguagem em textos escolares de alunos migrantes (ou quando os estranhos batem à porta das nossas escolas).

Abstract

This paper aims at understanding how translanguaging practices operate and what they potentially indicate in the written productions of migrant students from South American countries during Portuguese language classes at two public schools in the State of Mato Grosso. Translanguaging is understood as an approach that seeks to overcome the conventional notion of language (as something fixed and static) to emphasize the importance of the creative and adaptive use of languages in different contexts (Rocha & Megale, 2023), in order to present them as a temporary alignment that manifests itself in and through practice. The results indicate that, with lesser or greater incidence, translanguaging practices occur regardless of the type of activity proposed in the classroom (whether more regulated or more free), reverberating a scenario marked by the intense flow of lives in movement (both geographical and linguistic) that characterizes contemporary times.
