POLÍTICA LINGUÍSTICA EM CONTEXTO DE IMIGRAÇÃO E REFÚGIO: O PLANEJAMENTO DO ENSINO DE PORTUGUÊS COMO LÍNGUA DE ACOLHIMENTO NO ÂMBITO DO DISTRITO FEDERAL

Abstract

The guiding theme of this work is the teaching of Portuguese as a non-native language to immigrant and refugee communities, as a language policy and a public policy of reception and cooperation between nation-states. The main objective is to give visibility to the course planning and lesson planning aspects of a Portuguese as a host language course developed in the Federal District. Some relevant questions are: (i) which agents are committed to this planning?; (ii) how important is planning for the implementation of a language course for refugees and immi-grants? and (iii) what are the elements of this planning?. Methodologically, we adopted the theoretical conceptions of linguistic policy and planning by Calvet (2007); Haugen (1964) and Rajagopalan (2013, 2014), and the concep-tions of course and class planning by Almeida Filho (1997, 2011) and Oliveira (2015). As partial results we point out that: (i) the elaboration and implementation of the PLAc in DF has been made possible through partnerships like the one of IMDH; (ii) there are indications that the State Department of Education of the Federal District has now committed itself to this host policy.
