REFLECTIONS ON TEACHING OF PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE IN YOUTH AND ADULT EDUCATION

This work presents the data of an experience with the teaching of Portuguese language in the Education of Young and Adults in public schools. The main objective is to show the teaching-learning conditions in which students are inserted, so that one can think of strategies to modify their situation. Another objective is to identify the causes of these students' lack of interest in the activities developed in the schools. The method employed is an empirical nature and consists in the observation not only of classes taught by trainees, but also of the behavior of students during the classes. The results show that in these classes, outdated methods of teaching are still employed, including normative grammar from invented sentences, in which the terms of the clause, such as subject, predicate and object are mainly analyzed.
