Ensino da língua portuguesa em tempos de pandemia

Abstract

This article presents a study on the teaching of Portuguese language in times of pandemic, mainly, it reports how public and private teachers in the city of São Sepé taught their classes, how they dealt with the difficulties of online teaching and how they used the tools that the internet has. The aim of this study was to verify, through an interview with Portuguese language teachers, how the mother tongue was taught during social isolation and the way they managed to teach their classes at a distance. The theoretical foundation was based on studies by, among others, Kenski (2012), Antunes (2003), Moran (2015) and Braga (2013). The methodology of this work was developed through a bibliographical research based on studies on the subject, as well as through an exploratory research, whose data was collected through a questionnaire carried out with Portuguese language teachers from the final years of elementary school. It is concluded that the year of twenty-two thousand and twenty one, as well as two thousand and twenty-one, brought many challenges to education, bringing to light the reality of Brazilian schools, with great differences between the working conditions of the public and private network, for both teachers and students. However, it can be said that everyone involved in this process reinvented themselves, so that education continued to fulfill its role in society and, in the same way, Portuguese Language teachers remodeled their practices and the assessment method.
