Abstract

This research was developed in the period from 2013 to 2014 through the post-Graduate Program of the Universidade Federal do Tocantins - UFT-PPGL and of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - CAPES through the project named Observatório da Educação - OBEDUC in developing with the indigenous School 19 de Abril of the Kraho people of the village Manoel Alves, located between the towns of Goiatins and Itacajá in the northwest of the state of Tocantins. Our research aimed to identify and reflect on educational practices undertaken by the Indigenous School19 de abril in the teaching and learning process of the Portuguese Language - L2 in order to understand how the public and language policies for the Brazilian indigenous peoples reflect Kraho in the context of the tribe Krahô of the refered village. We base ourselves in readings about Indigenous school Education (Albuquerque, 2013; Cavalcanti & MAHER, 2005; LUCIANO, 2006; D'ANGELIS 2012), public policy and language policies (PALADINO & ALMEIDA, 2012; ALBUQUERQUE, 2011; GRUPIONI, 2006; OLIVEIRA, 2006; MONSERRAT, 2006; ALTENHOFEN, 2013; MAHER, 2013) focused on the Brazilian minority groups (Cavalcanti, 1999), focused specifically on the indigenous peoples in readings about bilingualism (GROSJEAN 1989; MAHER, 2007) and interculturalism (CANDAU, 2012; LOPEZ, 2013; COLLET, 2006; FLEURI, 2001), we also mobilized discussions about transculturality (COX & ASSIS-PETERSON 2013; DAMAS, 2009) and transdisciplinarity (D'AMBROSIO, 1997; NICOLESCU, 1999; SUANNO 2014; ALBUQUERQUE, 2009). Our research is of the ethnographic type with participant observation and binds itself to the qualitative approach, as used as technique to obtain the data, the participant observation, field diary and the semistructured interview. For its development we conducted interviews with indigenous students and teachers, we participated of the cultural activities of the Kraho people of the activities carried out in school, of the process of preparation of the textbooks related to the OBEDUC and we accomplished the teaching Internship with the subject of Portuguese language as Second Language for the Indigenous Schools in the classes of the 7th year of elementary school to the 3rd year of high school in Indigenous School 19 de Abril. Living with the Kraho people and the analyzing of the corpus generated reveal the importance of the indigenous leadership in the construction of their own processes of teaching and of the language policy adopted by the community in relation to the language teaching at this school in the current village.
