RESUMO

The objective of the research presentel in the thesis was to assess how a literacy teachers basic knowledge of Educational Sociolinguistics may contribute to the development of strategies that will facilitate the learning of reading and writing at school by young, adult and elderly learners. When a youth, an adult or an elderly person starts a literacy program, this person brings with him/her a long linguistic experience and demonstrates his/her ability to understand and use the language in the several life situations he/she needs to use it. However, he/she still cannot read or write. With regard to this reality, it would be advantageous for the school to use such linguistic knowledge as the basis for the teaching of the mother tongue. Educational Sociolinguistics has endeavored to contribute to the development of new ways to organize the students pedagogical work that will develop the students cognitive skills necessary to expand their oral and written communicative competence, making them more proficient in their mother tongue and enabling them to exert citizenship consciously and critically. The locus of the research is a literacy classroom for young, adult, and elderly people in the Project Solidarity Literacy, of the Catholic University of Brasilia, located in the town of Ceilândia DF. The research allows us to say that the students reading is affected by their oral skills, for as soon as they finish decoding the words, they translate them into their speech variety, by means of a typical code-switching strategy. However, it was observed that the linguistic code-switching does not hinder the understanding of the word meaning, very much on the contrary, it seems to foster it. With regard to the organization of the pedagogical work and the teaching of the mother tongue, it was concluded that the sociolinguistics studies made significant contribution. As concerns the interface between the oral skills and the teaching of reading and writing, it was observed that, when the teacher learned to distinguish between the problems in the learning of reading and writing resulting from the interference of the variable phonological rules and the lack of familiarity with ortographic conventions, she was able to develop didactic interventions favorable to their learning. Regarding the competence with which young people, adults and the elderly developed their literacy practice, it can be concluded that the learning acquired by the students has enabled them to do well in the practices that required knowledge compatible with the schooling of the Young Peoples and Adults Education literacy.
