A PRODUÇÃO TEXTUAL EM CLASSES DE EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS, ADULTOS E IDOSOS: ALGUMAS PROBLEMATIZAÇÕES

Abstract

This article aims to provoke reflections concerning writing production in Youth, Adult and Senior Education Program (EJAI). The article is the fragment of a doctorate research that sought to understand some of the learners and teachers’ perceptions about the reading, writing and orality learning processes at EJAI, considering the peculiarities of the individuals, and establishing connections with the social uses of the language. In order to develop this study, an ethnographic study was carried out in a public state school in Salvador. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with students and teachers, in addition to class observation. The results of the research enabled the understanding that rewriting and dictation stand out as writing practices in the classes. Nevertheless, an urge for more contextualized writing practices arises, although timidly. This article is expected to contribute to the development of a more accurate perspective concerning the teaching of writing at EJAI, as well as highlight the importance of listening carefully to the individuals, when reconsidering the education provided by this teaching modality.

Keywords: Writing production at EJAI. Dictation. Rewriting. Contextualized practices.
