Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the process of recontextualization
of discourses within language teaching in the school context. I examined how
the concept ‘language’ is recontextualized in four Curricular Directives (CDs):
Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais – Ensino Fundamental (PCN), Parâmetros Curriculares
Nacionais – Ensino Médio (PCNEM); Orientações Curriculares Nacionais
(OCNEM) and Lições do Rio Grande (LRG). The results show there are more
definitions of ‘language’ in PCN and PCNEM than in OCNEM and LRG. The
qualitative analysis indicates CDs recontextualize the contemporary debates
in Applied Linguistics, because most of the occurrences are related to ‘social
practice’ or ‘social phenomenon’.
