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, under development, which aimed to identify what recent national scientific productions present about the development of children's oral language. The 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 catalog of theses and dissertations of CAPES, for publications between 2012 and 2022. Database accesses took place between 05/18/2022 and 08/16/2022. For the systematization of the studies found, the flowchart recommended by the PRISMA group was used. The search strategies resulted in fourteen scientific productions, of which they were dedicated to researching the pedagogical practice of teachers, the development of children's oral language with a focus on orality and writing, the interactions between teachers and children, and the interactions promoted by triggering activities, such as literature books, and planning,  evaluation and records. We conclude that the scientific productions found had oral language as their central theme, but when it comes to research that involves the linguistic interactions that occur between teachers and very young children in Early Childhood Education, and that have the pedagogical work committed to the development of children's oral language, the number of researches is scarce. This reveals that there are still a number of issues to be investigated on this theme, which is still very incipient in our country.
