Description
Summary:The present paper brings the treatment given to the content of linguistic variation in the collection of Portuguese language textbooks Novas Palavras (2016), by Emília Amaral, Mauro Ferreira, Ricardo Leite and Severino Antônio. We make up our argument based on studies on language teaching in a socio-interactionist approach and on the guidelines contained in the official documents for this teaching approach, as well as on studies on Sociolinguistics and Teaching, which understand  that language is a heterogeneous system and hold that the school should promote a linguistic education of appreciation of Brazilian linguistic plurality. This is a qualitative study structured in bibliographic review and content analysis of the textbook collection. This paper presents theoretical discussions necessary to teaching the topics on linguistic variation in two chapters of the textbook 1, however, the chapters dealing with grammatical issues maintain a more conservative and normative approach.
