O uso do livro didático de língua inglesa no 6º ano do ensino fundamental, WAYS: english for life, considerações á luz da BNCC

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the English textbook Ways: English for Life, used in the 6th grade of public elementary schools, in light of the guidelines established by the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC). The research, which is bibliographic and qualitative in nature, sought to identify whether the textbook covers the four language skills — reading comprehension, writing production, listening comprehension, and oral production/interaction — and promotes multiliteracy practices and sociocultural diversity. The analysis showed that the textbook partially meets the BNCC requirements, with a notable focus on developing reading and writing skills. However, gaps were identified regarding oral production/interaction, which still requires more practical and communicative activities. It is concluded that, although the material presents relevant pedagogical proposals, adjustments are necessary to ensure a more balanced approach to language skills. Finally, the research suggests further studies on pedagogical practices that enhance the use of textbooks and their impact on students' learning.
