Resumo: | This paper presents a discussion on reading practices in Portuguese language teaching in East Timor. Since 2002, Portuguese appears, along with the Tetun language, as the official and instructional language in that country. Since then, Timorese teachers and students have dealt with difficulties related to the process of teaching and learning Portuguese in schools and these obstacles are due to some factors arising from the country’s socio-historical constitution, such as language policy problems, scarce human and structural resources, lack of specific education in teaching Portuguese as a non-native language, among others. From this context, the purpose of this paper is to identify and comprehend the strategies related to reading in Portuguese that Timorese teachers appraise positively in the classrooms of East Timor. To this end, we applied a questionnaire to teachers working in basic education and analyzed the data generated based on Dialogic Theory of Bakhtin’s Circle. In general, the analysis showed that the appreciation of the practice of reading in Portuguese in the classrooms of East Timor is related to the relationship historically established in the country between the Portuguese language and the written word. In the methodological field, what teachers appraise positively lies on practices traditionally used in the teaching of reading, and on practices that are sensitive to the context of teaching Portuguese as a non-native language and that consider the dialogue between texts. |

Desde 2002, o português figura, juntamente com a língua tétum, como língua oficial e de instrução nesse país. A partir de então, professores e alunos timorenses lidam com dificuldades relacionadas ao ensino e à aprendizagem dessa língua nas escolas, as quais são advindas de fatores decorrentes da constituição sócio-histórica do país, dentre os quais destacamos embates político-linguísticos, recursos humanos e estruturais escassos e carência de formação específica em ensino de português língua não materna. A partir desse contexto, a proposta deste trabalho é identificar e compreender estratégias relacionadas à leitura em língua portuguesa que professores timorenses valoram positivamente nas salas de aula de Timor-Leste. Para tanto, aplicamos um questionário a docentes atuantes no ensino básico e analisamos os dados gerados com base na teoria do dialogismo de Bakhtin e seu Círculo. De forma geral, a análise realizada apontou que a valorização da prática da leitura em português nas salas de aula de Timor-Leste está imbricada na relação historicamente estabelecida no país entre a língua portuguesa e a palavra escrita. No campo metodológico, aquilo que os professores valoram positivamente recai ora sobre práticas tradicionalmente utilizadas no ensino da leitura, ora sobre práticas sensíveis ao contexto de ensino de português como língua não materna e que levam em conta o diálogo entre textos.PUC Minas2021-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/article/view/2572310.5752/P.2358-3428.2021v25n53p467-499Scripta; Vol 25 No 53 (2021): O Ensino de Português Língua não materna: epistemologia e metodologia; 467-499Scripta; v. 25 n. 53 (2021): O Ensino de Português Língua não materna: epistemologia e metodologia; 467-4992358-34281516-4039reponame:Revista Scriptainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/article/view/25723/18337Copyright (c) 2021 Editora PUC Minashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCamargo, Renata Tironi deGuimarães, Joice Eloi2022-02-17T06:28:44Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/25723Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/userhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/oai||cespuc@pucminas.br2358-34281516-4039opendoar:2022-02-17T06:28:44Revista Scripta - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false |
