MOTHER LANGUAGE TEACHING AT KURÂ BAKAIRI STATE SCHOOL
Bakairi people; Mask Ritual; Teaching Mother Tongue.
This research deals with teaching the mother tongue of the Bakairi people from the Pakuera village, municipality of Paranatinga MT. The objective is to investigate how mother tongue teaching is carried out at the Kurâ Bakairi school and develop a teaching proposal, using various reading and text production strategies in the Bakairi language. The proposed language teaching methodology is based on the generating theme “Ritual of Iakuigady” - Ritual of the sacred masks of the Bakairi people, with the development of three didactic sequences in the classroom. The didactic sequences are proposed from three textual genres: interviews, songs and traditional culinary recipes. The textual genres covered are part of the investigation into the Mask Ritual. The Educational Product will be a book with texts produced by students in the three didactic sequences. The study is based on bibliographies of authors who discuss language teaching, bilingualism and textual genres. The methodology was qualitative (Minayo, 2001). The methodology will be qualitative and ethnographic. We believe that carrying out an in-depth investigation of a new methodology for teaching the mother tongue can provide greater stimulation for students, teachers and even future Bakairi researchers who are interested in the topic.
