O ensino de línguas desde o Brasil colônia até os dias atuais: avanços e desafios

Abstract

The teaching of foreign languages in the Brazilian context has been happening since Brazil was a colony, since the Portuguese, when they landed in Brazil, learned to teach Portuguese to the people who already lived here. With the advancement of the colony and the creation of the first schools, some norms were created, even disciplining the teaching of foreign languages, norms that were perfected over the years. For this reason, it is important to know both the historical part and the guidelines of the education system that govern the teaching of foreign languages today, with a main focus on the changes proposed by the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) and its possible interventions for teaching. of languages. Thus, the objective is to reflect on the teaching of languages in the national context, from colonial Brazil. It is an exploratory and descriptive research based on the use of technical procedures of bibliographical research. The present study intends to answer the following question: what advances/setbacks have been observed in language teaching since colonial Brazil, contextualizing the current moment, after the approval of the BNCC? It can be observed that, over the years, many changes were made in the teaching of foreign languages, and currently, with the BNCC, some were the objections against its approval/remaining in force, which led the current government to suspend its implementation so that debates on this topic can be broadened.
