A problemática do meio de ensino no EP1 do SNE. Que língua de ensino: o português ou uma língua bantu?

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to discuss the problem of the language of teaching in Mozambique, as a multilingual country, with particular reference to the use of Bantu languages, the mother tongues of most Mozambicans, and their possible relationships with school performance, particularly in EP1 of the SNE, as well as its contribution for the development and strengthening of the child's cultural identity. For this purpose, the data to be analyzed will be collected, either through direct observations of the teaching-learning process, especially with regard to linguistic interaction in and outside the classroom between students and between them and the teacher, or through the sociolinguistic inquiry (attitudinal test), the language proficiency test and the math test. This study comprises the following chapters: Chapter I is intended for the introduction to the thesis. Chapter II is intended to present the linguistic situation in Mozambique. Chapter III is dedicated to a brief summary of the literature related to the problem of teaching language in multilingual contexts, particularly at the initial levels. Chapter IV deals with the procedures and instruments used for data elicitation. Chapter V is concerned with analyzing and discussing the data. Chapter VI presents a summary of the conclusions of this study and the final recommendations.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
