The conceptions of language and the formation of teachers of bilingual teaching in Mozambique

Abstract

This article proposes the reformulation of curricular plans for primary teacher education in Mozambique, regarding the conceptions of language. For the scholars of Marxism and philosophy of language on which this work rests, the nature of language is social, so it must be studied in the social relations where it happens. The research privileges the reading of academic works produced, mainly in the national context, going through the analysis of curricular plans of primary teachers formation and the legislation about the National Education System (SNE). The conclusions point out that, since National Independence to date, several models of primary teacher education have been built, and in almost all of them, a phonic approach to the act of language appropriation in Portuguese and in the mother tongue discipline is mastered.
