O inglês não padrão nas provas do ENEM : estudo de caso na perspectiva da variação linguística e do letramento

Abstract

The teaching and learning of the English language, in their multimodalities, have been targets of research involving educators and learners. In the context of globalization, language is not a language that belongs exclusively to a nation: in this context, the mastery of foreign languages and the study of a global language, like English, for example, are crucial elements in the whole educational process. In these terms, this dissertation proposes some reflections, in particular, the description of textual genres in non-standard English texts taken from the ENEM, as well as analyze the linguistic variation of them by correlating these uses with the proposal of official documents about the English teaching in high school, as the PNLD. As theoretical-methodological assumptions, the research is based on Applied Sociolinguistics to language teaching, on literacy and language teaching and on textual genres. That comes from the argument that both the ENEM and the notice of PNLD are shaping the practices of reading and text genres involving linguistic variation in English language, not only in American English, but also in other countries, which justifies the inclusion of variants, such as Black English in texts from the ENEM. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the field of applied Sociolinguistics to second language in Brazil, as well as giving teachers teaching practices signed not only formal level of language, but also in their degrees of formality/informality in the most diverse uses.
