SUMMARY:

This research aims at proposing a reflection upon the importance of developing skills relevant to spoken language in the gender job selection interview in the lessons attended by the students of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) from an experience with the classes from PEJA (The Educational Programme offered to Young and Adult students from state schools in Rio de Janeiro City).  These students are enrolled at Escola Municipal Marechal Pedro Cavalcanti, which is located in the neighbourhood of Paciência, in the east area of the city of Rio de Janeiro.  Based on this teaching experience with EJA students and their wishes to join the job market, I realized that the students are highly motivated to improve their speaking skills, considering the variety of possibilities available at this branch of language learning, despite the fact they are studying their mother tongue. Considering the facts, the general objective of this research is to develop a didactic sequence for the work with the gender selection interview aimed at students of Youth and Adult Education. The specific purposes of this work intend to lead the students, gradually, to: (i) adjust his speech in more formal situations; (ii) to investigate the teaching of orality in didactic material, aimed at EJA; (iii) to elaborate an orientation script for the selection interview and, finally, (iv) to provide communicative situations that approximate the real practices of use, with diverse dynamics and activities such as interviews and others that require the realization of orality. The adopted methodology is the interpretative of the ethnographic type (MOREIRA; CALLEFE, 2008).  Leal and Seal (2012) say that the several possible types of interviews should be considered as a reference for a wide range of didactic purposes  as far as they are adequate to the educational goals.  Taking this perspective into consideration, a number of aspects have been listed to be focussed on, such as the reflection about the interviewers / interviewees, the place where the interviewers are going to happen, the questions to be asked, the way to collect data, the polite choice of the linguistic expressions to be used, intonation, body language, face to face interaction and socialization as a whole.  Therefore, the gender of interviews allows multiple skills to be developed, enlarging the participants’ communicative ability as well as broadening their horizons.  Traditionally, teachers of Portuguese tend to privilege written language over the spoken mode, for status reasons, for the demand of external exams in which written production is required, etc. That makes spoken language work to be underestimated, especially for the belief that almost everything can be accepted in speech but not in writing. According to the National Curricula Parameters (Brazil, 1997), teaching spoken language at school should provide the students with acess to a more formal register in their use of mother tongue, once the full command of the so called public word is directly related to their citizenship.  Castilho (2018) claims that nowadays linguistics embraces a more comprehensive view of language, in which it is regarded as a bunch of uses, including speech, communicative competence, inference and deductions as essential elements to language learning indeed.  The role of teachers of Portuguese is to equally value both oral and written language given the multiple contexts as possible forms of communication.  Spoken language should assume a leading role in the classroom because according to Marchuschi (2008), speech is way more present in people’s lives than writing.
