REFLECTIONS ON THE LANGUAGE PROFILE OF PRE-SERVICE LANGUAGE TEACHERS IN THE MULTILINGUAL CONTEXT OF FOZ DO IGUASSU

Authors

Abstract

This study focuses on multilingualism in classrooms and was developed in the field of Language Policy. The objective is to present and discuss the linguistic profile of students in the Letters Course at a university located in Foz do Iguaçu, given the linguistic and cultural plurality existing in the city and region. The methodology used field surveys, through exploratory research carried out between 2017 and 2018, using school language mappings as the methodological reference. The study contributes to the construction of knowledge about plurilingual socio-educational contexts and the management of multilingualism in education, supporting reflections on institutional language policies. The research presupposes that recognition and sensitization of the academic community regarding local and regional linguistic plurality is essential so that actions around languages at and within the institution are aligned with the context in which it operates.
