THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN'S ORAL LANGUAGE IN NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTIONS: AN INTEGRATIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

This article is the result of a doctoral research in development, which aimed to identify what recent national scientific productions report about the development of children's oral language.The applied methodology consisted of an integrative systematic review with searches in the electronic databases of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and in the CAPES theses and dissertations catalog, for publications in the period between the 2012 and 2022. Access to the databases took place between 05/18/2022 and 08/16/2022. For the systematization of the findings, the flowchart recommended by the PRISMA group was used. The search strategies resulted in fourteen scientific productions, which were dedicated to investigating teachers' pedagogical practices, the development of children's oral language with a focus on reading and writing, interactions between teachers and children and interactions promoted by triggering activities, such as literature books, as well as planning, evaluation and records. We concluded that the scientific productions found had oral language as their central theme, but when it comes to research involving the linguistic interactions that occur between teachers and very young children in Early Childhood Education, and that have the pedagogical work compromised by children's development of oral language, the number of researches are scarce. This reveals that there are still a number of questions to be investigated on this topic, which is still very incipient in our country.
