Some representations of error in the learning of writing in the young and adult literacy classroom

This paper is based on an ethnographic and collaborative research conducted in the area of Applied Linguistics. It describes some representations of "error" in the writing learning process of the young and adult literacy students at a school in Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. Data results show that the representations for both the teacher and the young and adult learners are reproductions of a "correct writing" image produced in the literacy events of the classroom.
