The LEXICON TEACHING PROPOSAL AT BNCC LEARNING OBJECTS AND LINGUISTIC CONCEPTS FOR THE PORTUGUESE CLASS

OBJETOS DE APRENDIZAGEM E CONCEPÇÕES LINGUÍSTICAS PARA A AULA DE PORTUGUÊS

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the treatment given by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) to lexical teaching in Basic Education. To achieve this, we assume the following specific objectives: a) identify the knowledge objects related to the lexical system at the Elementary and High School levels; b) delimit the lexical teaching axes established by the knowledge objects of the BNCC; and c) understand the lexical conceptions revealed by the knowledge objects of the BNCC. Thus, the object of analysis of this research is the Portuguese language skills listed in the BNCC, from the Initial Years to High School, selected from the document analysis for subsequent cataloging, description, and analysis. As a characterization of the research, we can indicate that it is applied, documentary, qualitative, and interpretative-descriptive (Mascarenhas, 2018). The theoretical foundation was mainly formulated based on authors from Applied Linguistics (Antunes, 2012; 2019; Bezerra, 2004; among others) and Lexicology (Biderman, 2001; AUTORIA). As a result, 27 skills that explore lexical competence were observed, of which we identified 7 knowledge objects, organized into 3 teaching axes. The first axis encompasses skills related to lexical structure and renewal; the second addresses the meanings of words and figures of speech; the third focuses on the textual-interactive functioning of lexical items, with skills on selection and lexical cohesion. Most of these skills revealed a textual-interactive conception of lexicon, although there are still skills that explore it in a limited way.
