PEDRO, Feliciano José. A preparação didáctico-metodológica dos professores primários para o ensino do Português em Moçambique: estudo de caso no IFP de Nampula, 2017. RILP [online]. 2021, vol.40, pp.79-91.  Epub 25-Feb-2022. ISSN 2182-4452.  https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2021.40/pp.79-91.

Portuguese has been an official language of Mozambique since 1975. However, not all Mozambicans have the same relationship with Portuguese. According to data from the 2017 Census, only 47.4% of the population speaks Portuguese and more than half of the Mozambican population does not speak this language. For about 12 million Mozambicans, mostly living in the rural area, Portuguese could be considered as a foreign language (FL). However, due to the historical-social situation that determines Portuguese as official language, the status of FL for this group of citizens is not applicable, and only the second language status (SL) is applicable. Ac- cording to Vigner (2001), from the didactics point of view, SL is an unstable and delicate practice because it is located in the median between Mother tongue (MT) and FL, depending on the activity, SL teaching practices man be loaned from MT or LE. This study aims to analyze the process of training primary teachers in Portu- guese teaching. Specifically, it intends to verify the level of preparation to face the diversity of contexts (of students and the status that Portuguese has in their linguistic biographies). In methodological terms, the study is qualitative and descriptive. The data are the result of the analysis of the training program and questionnaires to portuguese language methodology trainers and students of the Instituto de Formação de Professores de Nampula. The conclusions of this study indicate that the modules focus more on political aspects to the detri- ment of didactic aspects; it indicates also that trainers and, consequently, trainees are very fixaised on what is proposed in the modules, while they should be seen as simple guiding documents.
