O PNLD e o professor de inglês: aspectos relacionados a escolha, importância e utilização do livro didático em escolas públicas.

Abstract

The National Textbook Program (PNLD) began to distribute, as of 2011, textbooks (LDs) of English Language (LI). Through this program, public school students benefited and teachers started to have access to this resource for their classes. In this work, we had as main objective to investigate if English teachers know the guide of PNLD and if affirmative, how use the LD in classroom. As theoretical framework, we use Nunan (1997), Salas (2004) and Vilaça (2010). Our study was developed from a field research where we made reflections about the choice, on the importance, and use of LD, from observations of classes of five teachers and the analysis of responses of a questionnaire answered by four of the five public schools visited in João Pessoa, Paraíba. Thus, among the aspects discussed, we identified that when teachers know the PNLD and use the LD in a planned way, LD represents an important resource in LI classes. In this sense, we intend to contribute to the reflection about the use of LD by English teachers of public schools.
