O aprendiz-leitor na modalidade EJA e o texto literário: diálogos sobre ensino e literatura.

Abstract

this work shows a proposal for reading instruction involving the narrative genre used in the Youth and Adult Education ( YAE ) classroom, having as a basis the reading of the mythical narrative of Eros e Psiquê ( Eros and Psyche ), by Lucius Apuleius. As to using literary texts in class, we present a discussion on the relationships existing in YAE classrooms concerning the inexistence of mythical narratives in the Portuguese language textbooks used there. Our objective is to reflect on the desecration of the literary text in this kind of education as well. The reading of mythical narratives in YAE classes is featured as a means of reflecting on and looking with a critical eye at the education ofyouths and adults who are reading learners.
