Abstract

This article focuses on memory, orality and storytelling as a strategy of the pedagogical work of teachers in basic education schools in indigenous communities Roraima, and the indigenous oral narrative focus of the continuing education course "The Interactional Process in Classes Mother Tongue: Text in Context" by the Center for Training of Education Professionals Roraima - CEFORR . The course is a joint action with the "Bridges Project," the research group coordinated by Prof. Dra. Stella Maris Bortoni - Ricardo, of UNB, which aims to equip teachers in classroom activities concerning the development of reading, exercise of orality and textual production, in order to recognize the linguistic and cultural diversity to work taking into account the traditional practices as legends, folk tales, memory. The State of Roraima has a strong presence of indigenous culture in their social and population. In this context, we observe the occurrence of conflicts demarcation of indigenous lands, generating the prejudice and socioeconomic and ethno cultural devaluation of indigenous peoples, whether in language, its history or its traditions and, on the other hand, a strong political organization and the existence of practices aimed at preserving the memory of the communities served through oral tradition, which has one of the elements in the narratives producers identities, in a perspective of literary studies and interface to sociolinguistic studies in relation to theory continues. In using this theory to the research of Brazilian Portuguese, explores different categories of sociolinguistic variation: diatopic, diastrática, diamésica, diafásica and diachronic, as the object of investigation. Here, we explore the effect diamésica from orality to writing, the recording of oral histories and traditional experienced by indigenous peoples. Having as a methodological approach to collaborative ethnography of linguistic studies, it was adopted for collecting and generating data , oral history and record with the formation of a portfolio with texts of various genres produced by the students, under the supervision of teachers and teacher students with the guidance of the course tutor. It is hoped that teachers build with a set of records of their oral practices to serve the repertoire for the production of knowledge of cultural practices for enjoyment in school practices .
