This dissertation brings a discussion about the teaching of the Portuguese language from traditional culinary recipes of the Terena people. The work aims to teach the Portuguese language through textual genres: culinary recipe, interview and report, with the concern of making a cultural revitalization of the traditional cuisine of the Terena people of Mato Grosso. In the work, the students developed an investigation on the cuisine of the Terena people, in which they interview about traditional food, seeking pertinent information that helps them better understand how food is prepared and also about the main ingredients they use. From the investigation, they systematized different traditional recipes and produced reports on the cultivation and harvesting of the products used in the recipes. The activities were carried out based on planned didactic sequences, developed in the classroom and evaluated. In this practice, different activities of reading, writing and linguistic reflection were carried out, seeking to favor the students' learning. The research is based on authors who deal with the teaching of languages and textual genres. The methodology is qualitative, with the use of various production techniques and data collection. From the investigation on the foods and the activities with the culinary recipes, interview and report, a book of traditional culinary recipes of the Terena people of MT was organized and, later, will be made available at the school. This will be of great relevance to the school community, as it will allow students to pass on their knowledge acquired in research, contributing to the cultural strengthening of the people.
