REIS, Fabiana Aparecida dos and MORETTO, Milena. The teaching of the mother tongue at public french Maternelle School. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2020, vol.25, e204932. ISSN 2318-0870. https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v25e2020a4932.
A set of experiences as a pre-school teacher was the reason that motivated us to investigate work with the mother tongue at this school level. However, the opportunity to experience teaching practices in a school in Coësmes (France) provided the interest to conduct research in French territory in order to understand how literacy occurs in this country. This article aims to analyze what French teachers prioritize in relation to the teaching of the mother tongue with four-year-old children. We conducted narrative interviews with two teachers who work at a public school located in the center of Paris. The analyzes show that the teachers prioritize the appropriation of the alphabetization and the standard French language, that is, the teaching aims at the alphabetization of French children and those who came from other countries. Therefore, this research aims to analyze what the French teachers prioritize in relation to the teaching of the mother tongue with such children. We conducted narrative interviews with two teachers who teach in a public school located in the center of Paris. The analyzes show that the teachers prioritize alphabetization over literacy and the teaching of the mother tongue, that is, their work aims at the literacy of French children and those who came from other countries.
