RESUMO

This work is based on the following premises: a) studies that focus on cultural and enunciation issues must have a constitutive place in the teaching-learning of languages; b) we consider the language curriculum to be a central and significant place for the insertion of such components. One of the paths proposed to achieve this objective is to take into consideration the discursive memory, brought about, for instance, by the combination of literature and the teaching of languages. In our case, compilations of popular tales have proven to be very appropriate to this end, as they register part of the memory and history of the people. This affirmation is founded in the assertion that enunciation in other languages, or the many variants of the mother tongue, is an experience that mobilizes issues of identity and culture, either implicit or explicit, throughout the language class (Revuz, 1998). According to the theoretical framework adopted in this study, in that situation, the teacher must be aware of the identity and social conflicts present in the practice of language within the class, determined by the language itself, which materializes the culture of the subjects involved. Such a teacher, observant of discursiveness, must be aware of enunciation differences in relation, for example, to the inter-relations that occur in those circumstances. Among other things, this action aims at promoting, for instance, the clarification of intercultural misunderstandings, resulting from the different discursive background of the subjects. In order to contemplate this proposal, we investigated the curricula of two bilingual (German/Portuguese) private schools in the state of São Paulo. In broad terms, the study conducted in such settings includes, on one hand, the treatment given to the sociocultural and literary domains, in the bilingual education curricula of those schools, and, on the other hand, the compilations mentioned as well as the discourse of both teacher and students, thus investigating oral debates, resultant from the reading of popular tales, in the construction of oral literacy practices, in the language classes of Level II, in Elementary School, in one of the bilingual schools mentioned. In addition to that, issues related to the sociocultural relationships of the subjects, in this case specifically with the environment, which appear in the classes and in the popular tales studied were also examined. Discursive repetitions (Pêcheux, 1983) about the theme in those contexts, as well as other discursive aspects that seemed relevant, the dissolution of intercultural misunderstandings in literacy practices mediated by the teacher, and the mobilization of identity and cultural issues present in the situation were also observed
