This research covers two focus: at first, a comparison between the Guide and Announcement criteria in order to observe whether such documents have relation between then, considering the assessment of the collections; in the second stage of research, the analysis of writing proposals of digital genres of two collections interfaced with the evaluation criteria of the Announcement and the Guide, in order to observe whether the proposals are related with the criteria, and if they contribute to the development of literacies, as directed in official documents. The work is theoretically based on studies of gender (Bakhtin, 2000; Bronckart, 2009; Marcuschi, 2004), literacies (BRASIL, 2006; ROJO, 2009) and the guidelines of official documents (BRASIL, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2006). The conclusions showed that the Announcement and the Guide present nearby in relation to the assessment criteria of the works. However, writing proposals for don’t have enough potential for the effective development of multiliteracies for offering an insufficient amount of genres, and especially for not offering real communication practices in digital format, including therein the steps of the production process writing: planning, writing and rewriting of genres. This work contributes to the academic community and to society as it proposes to discuss a new process in Brazilian education, the English Language textbook, a process that moves the public money, teaching methodology, and requires new settings for the teaching of this subject.
