Summary: Acknowledging the educational potential of linguistic landscapes, this paper sets out to: - identify the foreign languages present in the Avenida Lourenço Peixinho in Aveiro (Portugal) and the linguistic landscape signs in which they appear; - propose an interdisciplinary set of activities for the exploration of the linguistic landscape in the Avenida. To address these aims, an exploratory case study was conducted. Photographic data was collected in the Avenida and it was subject to content analysis. The analysis of the linguistic landscape displayed shows that English is the foreign language with the greatest presence and that the diversity of languages is low with a scarce presence of immigration languages such as Chinese. This exploratory experience was the basis for the creation of an interdisciplinary set of pedagogical activities (involving English, Spanish, History and Geography subjects) aimed at secondary education, providing some suggestions to explore linguistic landscapes as educational resources for the purposes of increasing students and educational community’s awareness concerning linguistic and cultural diversity.

Con el objetivo de concretar estos objetivos, se realizó un estudio de caso exploratorio, recogiéndose datos fotográficos de la avenida, los cuales fueron posteriormente sujetos a un análisis de contenido. El análisis del paisaje lingüístico exhibido en la avenida denota que el inglés es la lengua extranjera con mayor presencia y que la diversidad lingüística es baja, con una presencia baja de lenguas de inmigrantes, como por ejemplo el chino. La experiencia de exploración de la avenida se ha constituido como la base para la creación de un conjunto de actividades pedagógicas interdisciplinarias (que incluye las asignaturas de Inglés, Español, Historia y Geografía) dirigido a la enseñanza secundaria, que provee algunas sugerencias de exploración de paisajes lingüísticos como recursos pedagógicos, con el objetivo de promover en los alumnos y en la comunidad educativa la concienciación a la diversidad lingüística y cultural.Reconhecendo o potencial educativo das paisagens linguísticas, o presente artigo propõe-se a: - identificar as línguas estrangeiras presentes na Avenida Lourenço Peixinho em Aveiro (Portugal) e os signos de paisagem linguística em que as línguas aparecem; - propor um conjunto de atividades pedagógicas interdisciplinares que visa uma exploração educativa da paisagem linguística da avenida. De modo a alcançar a consecução destes objetivos, foi conduzido um estudo de caso exploratório, sendo recolhidos dados fotográficos que foram, posteriormente, sujeitos a uma análise de conteúdo. A análise da paisagem linguística da avenida revela que o inglês é a língua estrangeira com maior presença e que a diversidade de línguas é baixa, havendo uma escassa presença de línguas de populações imigrantes em Aveiro, como é o caso do chinês. Este estudo exploratório serviu de base à construção de um conjunto de atividades pedagógicas interdisciplinares (envolvendo as disciplinas de Inglês, Espanhol, História e Geografia) dirigido ao ensino secundário, as quais fornecem algumas sugestões de exploração de paisagens linguísticas como recursos pedagógicos, com o intuito de fomentar nos alunos e na comunidade educativa a consciencialização relativamente à diversidade linguística e cultural.Centro de Investigação Didática e Tecnologia na Formação de Formadores (CIDTFF) / Universidade de Aveiro2019-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/id.v11i4.10639https://doi.org/10.34624/id.v11i4.10639Indagatio Didactica; Vol 11 No 4 (2019); 241-260Indagatio Didactica; Vol. 11 Núm. 4 (2019); 241-260Indagatio Didactica; Vol. 11 No 4 (2019); 241-260Indagatio Didactica; vol. 11 n.º 4 (2019); 241-2601647-3582reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPenghttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/id/article/view/10639https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/id/article/view/10639/6969Santos, SaraPinto, Susanainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-22T10:18:00Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/10639Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T11:07:35.759456Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
