Abstract

This article, based on three textbooks, belongs to the field of Applied Linguistics, and analyzes the teaching of written production in Brazil, in the 1940s. To support the analysis and to contribute for the understanding of practices of teaching writing which characterized this moment of the teaching process, we identified the concepts of language, subject, teacher and student. From the books studied, we could confirm that, in these books, language is considered as a representation of thought, justifying the logical model of teaching grammar.
