LIVRO DIDÁTICO NA EJA: ANÁLISE SOB PERSPECTIVA DA SOCIOLINGUÍSTICA EDUCACIONAL

Abstract

This study focuses on the area of Educational Sociolinguistics and aims to analyze two Portuguese language textbooks intended for Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in the municipality of Jacaraú-PB, Brazil. One textbook was submitted to the National Textbook Program (PNLD), while the other was acquired independently. The purpose is to determine whether these textbooks present sociolinguistic aspects and are aligned with the premises of Educational Sociolinguistics. Methodologically, a qualitative-interpretative approach was employed, based on a questionnaire proposed in Bagno's book "Nada na Língua é Por Acaso" (2007), followed by an examination of aspects identified as "errors" in "Sete Erros aos Quatro Ventos" (2013) by the same author. The analysis is supported by theoretical references from authors aligned with the same sociolinguistic perspective, such as Bagno (2007, 2013), Bortini-Ricardo (2004) and Faraco (2008), among others. The results obtained showed that the second textbook analyzed from the publisher Eureka presented more errors, that is, absences of elements that follow the precepts of Educational Sociolinguistics,, from the Moderna publisher, which underwent PNLD scrutiny. This underscores the program's significance in textbook selection, emphasizing the need for careful selection to ensure effective Portuguese language education tailored to the needs and characteristics of EJA students.
