This paper is the result of a study with a pre-school group, in the Primary School Martinho Lutero, located in Santa Augusta city, RS. We aim to promote thoughts towards to Pomerano and Brazilian Portuguese linguistic contact; more specifically, since the adoption of a more culturally sensitive pedagogy to students sociolinguistics specificities influences Portuguese teaching process, considering that most of the half analyzed joined school or as Pomerano monolingual or as Pomerano/ Portuguese bilingual. Based on Erickson (1987), Bortoni-Ricardo (2005) and Bell (1984) theoretical postulations about school context, we propose that code- switching in the classroom by the teacher into a culturally sensitive pedagogic strategy which ratifies the student and generates an environment of trust in which shifts between two languages, in that case Pomerano and Portuguese, contribute to the Portuguese learning. However, to code-switching in the classroom underlines to a reflection on when which language is used, so that the bilingual uses do not lead to a process of replacement of mother tongue to Portuguese by students.
