O pagode baiano, a escola e as aulas de língua portuguesa: memórias de uma professora em formação

Abstract

Pagode Baiano is part of the black musicality that has captured a diverse audience in Bahia, mainly made up of young people. This musicality that is present in the classroom through youth corporality, promoting social movements, leisure and triggers debates and reflection on different topics, cannot be ignored by the school. Understanding the school as a space of circulation of knowledge and diferente people who wish to speak, to be heard and understood, I left this cultural aspect, whose hybrid language involves body, rhythm and musicality, to rethink my Praxis as a teacher of Portuguese language and develop a pedagogical intervention project during my studies in the Professional Master of Arts (PROFLETRAS). This work consists of an intervention proposed in the classroom, held during the year 2014, in which I set out to search how the musicality of Pagode Baiano can promote a more pluralistic methodological practice of mother tongue teaching. The work entitled The Pagode Baiano, the school and the Portuguese Language classes was developed through reading workshops that aimed to interpretation of musics, videos, news, reports involving the pagode culture personalities. We thought the idea that language is a sociocomunicative activity and that the body is also a powerful articulator of speeches, the intervention proposal is based on the dialogical conception of language (Bakhtin, 2006), the approach to multiple, heterogeneous Literacies (KLEIMAN, 1995; STREET, 2014) and in view of Literacies Reexistência (SOUZA, 2011). The description of this intervention composed this memorial, in which are presented the methodological procedures used and the implemented actions results. The project was developed in the 9th year of Elementary School classes in a public school in Salvador.
