A presente investigação mostra a importância do contacto de crianças muito
jovens com línguas estrangeiras. Este trabalho concentra-se na tentativa de
investigar, numa abordagem plurilingue, com enfoque para a Língua Inglesa e a
Língua Gestual Portuguesa, a sensibilização de um grupo de alunos do 1º Ciclo do
Ensino Básico para uma língua diferente da sua língua materna.
Nesta pesquisa, adotou-se uma postura de investigação-ação, apoiando-se
com grande particularidade numa metodologia qualitativa e com menor relevância
numa metodologia quantitativa, onde os alunos, através das várias atividades que
desenvolveram foram adquirindo diferentes competências nas duas línguas. Isto
permitiu aos alunos despertarem todas as suas potencialidades para a aprendizagem
destas duas línguas (Língua Inglesa e Língua Gestual Portuguesa), tendo como ponto
de partida a sua sensibilização e a aprendizagem de alguns vocábulos. Acreditamos
que esta abordagem plurilíngue poderá auxiliar os alunos no desenvolvimento de
habilidades linguísticas, cognitivas e pessoais tais como: a intercompreensão, o
conhecimento de características específicas de diferentes línguas existentes em seu
redor, a comparação linguística entre elas, a sua compreensão lexical, e por fim a
competência em relacionar as línguas a culturas, e acima de tudo, o respeito e
valorização da diversidade linguística e cultural.
Foram utilizadas nas aulas atividades de nível de compreensão e produção
oral, num processo de sensibilização e aprendizagem de alguns vocábulos destas
línguas, sendo que os resultados foram posteriormente analisados, através de
grelhas de observação das atividades, de dois inquéritos por questionário e fotos.
Das observações e conclusões retiradas desta análise, confirmou-se que a
sensibilização quanto à Língua Inglesa assim como quanto à Língua Gestual Portuguesa promove o desenvolvimento da criança, assim como a valorização da
respetiva diversidade linguística e cultural.
This research shows the importance of learning a foreign language at an early age of the child. This work focused on trying to investigate from a plurilingue approach the combined learning of the English Language and the Portuguese Sign Language, and the awareness of a group of students of the 1st Cycle of Basic Education in towards languages other than their mother tongue. In this research, it was adopted a posture of research - action, mainly based on a qualitative methodology and with less relevance on a quantitative methodology, where students through various developed activities obtained different skills in both languages. This allowed them to stimulate all their knowledge of these two languages (English Language and Portuguese Sign Language), compelling as a starting point towards their awareness and learning of some words. This plurilingue approach can assist students in the development of language, cognitive and personal skills such as: the mutual understanding, knowledge of specific characteristics of different existing languages around them, the linguistic comparison between them, their lexical understanding, and finally competence to relate the different language cultures, and above all, the respect and the appreciation of linguistic and cultural diversity. In this work different kinds of activities were used, with different levels of understanding and oral production in the process of awareness and learning of some words of the two foreign languages, and the corresponding results were then analyzed. These results were evaluated through observation grids, two questionnaire surveys and photos Observations and conclusions drawn from this analysis were that the awareness of the English Language as well as the Portuguese Sign Language, promotes the development of the children, as well as the appreciation of linguistic and cultural diversity of each child.
