Toponímia e tecnologia para o ensino de língua portuguesa na educação básica: uma abordagem a partir de indicadores da cultura de Belém do Pará

Abstract

The main objective of the present research is to present the toponymy of the neighborhoods that make up the Belém metropolis, for educational purposes, through a digital tool. To respond to the realce objective, we have listed the following specific objectives: to (i) map the toponyms; (ii) identify the motivations for the creation of toponyms and (iii) develop the digital tool as an application for the teaching of the Portuguese Language. The theoretical foundation is housed in the interdisciplinary field of toponymic linguistic studies, from the interface with research on Geosocial Linguistics, Sociolinguistics and School Literacy, based on the authors Andrade, K. dos S (2012); Cagliari, L. C. (2003); Dick, M. V. de A P. (1990); Kleiman, A. B (2014), among others. As a research methodology, we appropriated a descriptive-documental and bibliographic study based on the theories of Dick (1986, 1990, 1992), To find the probable toponymic motivation present in the designations of the neighborhoods of the researched area. In this study, we present an application, as a technological tool, created to work on toponymy in the Teaching of the Portuguese Language in state and municipal schools, in an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective, with the support and partnership of the group of researchers from Interceleri, who are part of the technology department of the Federal University of Pará.
