PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE TEACHING IN EJA: PROSPECTS OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS IN NEW IGUAÇU-RJ
Youth and Adult Education. Portuguese Language Teaching. Teaching Perspectives
Language teaching is not going well. There are numerous criticisms that the school does not stimulate the formation of readers, does not train students able to read and understand manuals, reports, codes, instructions, poems, chronicles, summaries, graphs, tables, articles, editorials and many other written materials. It also does not leave students able to produce these materials in writing (ANTUNES, 2009). The aim of this research is to discuss the perspectives of the Portuguese Language teachers of the state public schools of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) of Nova Iguaçu, analyzing the learning that the student makes during his life, through the process built in his peer-mediated interaction with the environment. We focus the debate on the EJA modality starting from the first initiatives until today where we find a new model of EJA for high school in Rio de Janeiro since 2013. We will discuss the Portuguese language pedagogical practices in EJA and the importance of language teaching for students. and students from EJA. We will use the qualitative method with semi-structured interviews with teachers from two state schools in Nova Iguaçu to understand their perspectives and challenges with this diverse audience. The theory that structures our debate is embedded in Haddad; Di Pierro (2000); Paiva (1973); Vieira (2004); Strelhow, (2010); Gadotti; Romão (2006) who talk about the history of popular education and youth and adult learning. Geraldi (1997) and Possenti (2009) who draw a dialogue about the teaching of grammar at school. In addition to the theoretical framework, we will bring the documentary frameworks that give legal basis to this research as the National Constitution (1988); LDBEN 9394/96; EEC Opinion 091/2012 the NCPs for EJA (2002)
