Here we share some of the experience with teaching vocabulary in the Mundurukú language (Tupí) to a community located in the Kwatá-Laranjal Indigenous Territory (Amazonas), during the course “Língua Viva! Teaching Mundurukú for adults and young learners”, one of the planned actions to revitalize the language in this community. We use the Task-based Language Teaching approach, which stands out for its emphasis on the practical application of language in real-world communicative situations, aiming to develop students' ability to use the target language effectively in authentic contexts, rather than just focusing on isolated grammatical aspects. The vocabulary used included kinship terms, body parts, names of plants and animals, and items from the Mundurukú culture. We conclude that the task-based approach to teaching vocabulary allows students to learn the vocabulary of their cultural universe more easily and quickly, and increases confidence in their own communicative competence.
