RESUMO:

 This study presents a study on the appropriation of the English language teaching material distributed in public schools by the National Textbook Program (PNLD). The inclusion and distribution of English language textbooks for elementary and high school levels education in public schools began in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Despite the detailed call notice, the bibliographic production related to this material is still incipient and mandatory for the consolidation of its path, especially regarding its appropriation. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the appropriation of the English textbooks of the PNLD by teachers and students from 9th grade of elementary public schools in the Zona da Mata Mineira. To achieve this goal, interviews with teachers and students, questionnaires, and field notes were carried out, which consisted of the research corpus. To analyze it I turn to the theory of Systemic-Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY, 1979; HALLIDAY and MATTHIESSEN, 2004; EGGINS, 2004) and Brazilian researchers, especially Fuzer and Cabral (2014) and Silva (2012, 2016) that have been developing studies using this theory. The Systems of Appraisal and Ideation (MARTIN and ROSE, 2007) also support the analysis, as well as official documents and studies by experts in the field. The methodology of the research is anchored in the qualitative approach that values the production of knowledge through the method of dialogue (BOGDAN and BIKLEN, 1994; DEMO, 1995). The results show that, in spite of the global recognition of English as a lingua franca and its inclusion in the PNLD, in public schools it remains undervalued as a studying subject. There is a lack of PNLD support to teachers, still dependent on assignments and work alternation. This causes ignorance of the program and the absence of continued training for a more beneficial appropriation of the teaching material. Therefore, the distribution of textbooks does not guarantee the viability of the pedagogical action according to its proposals and guiding theories. By appropriating the textbook, teachers expect to have it as an ally, hoping to legitimize its use in the classroom. That’s a cause of disappointment with the teaching material, when, because they were not prepared for the pedagogical innovations that the book suggests, or linguistically to accompany the flow of readings and activities, teachers end up using it in a monolingual, structural and vertical form. However, the appropriation of the teaching material impacts positively in the professional preparation of the teachers, leading them to seek proficiency. The results also show that students appreciate the activities done with the PNLD material, preferring them to the routine activities of copies and translations, or grammar exercises out of context. Considering that the PNLD encourages the use of differentiated teaching materials, this study is expected to contribute to a critical view of the subject, proposing actions to prepare teachers for the use of the material, adapting it to the public schools in Zona da Mata. Especially in small cities, access, or perhaps even interest in the literature of new methodological approaches, experiences, official documents, participation in events, etc. is very restricted. This distancing from academic productions can be remedied through shortterm projects on the appropriation of the material as a means of promoting the empowerment of professionals and English subject, thus contributing to the improvement of basic education.
