Abstract

The present work is aimed to analyze an English language textbook of High School of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) from the perspective of the elderly student. In terms of characterizing the investigation, we can say that it is a bibliographic/documentary research and a qualitative approach. Methodologically, an analysis of the textbook entitled Linguagens e culturas - Linguagem Códigos e Viver, Aprender collection was made. As a theoretical basis, the authors that were used whose basis guides our discussion, such as Almeida Filho (2003); Tomlinson (2001) and Ramos (2009). With regard to Youth and Adult Education - we are based on Oliveira (2009); Cury (2000); Costa and Braga and (2018). To discuss the English Language in Youth and Adult Education, we used Martins (2016); Cruz (2006); Santos and Oliveira (2009); Moita Lopes (1996); and Schütz (2018), among others. Thus, it was noticed that the elderly individuals, in the Youth and Adult Education modality, they have minimal representativeness within the book under a analytical focus, when we take into account, for example, elements such as text, activities and images.
