This research aims at: (1) identifying the needs, wants and preferences of EJA students, as far as learning English is concerned; and (2) describing and interpreting the phenomenon of learning English from the perspective of 1st term of EJA. The theoretical foundation of the current study is based on Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais Língua Estrangeira (Brasil, 2002b), Proposta Curricular para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos (Brasil, 2002a), Diretrizes Curriculares para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos (Brasil, 2000b) among other official documents which rule such an educational segment. In addition, this study is also grounded on criteria for needs analysis, considering the perceptions suggested by Hutchinson and Waters (1987), Berwick (1989) and Dudley- Evans and St John (1998). The hermeneutic-phenomenological approach (Ricoeur, 1986/2002; van Manen, 1990; Freire, 2006, 2007) was the orientation adopted for describing and interpreting the learning of English from the perspective of 1st term EJA students as a human experience phenomenon. The research context was a public school in which, through three questionnaires, the opinions of 52 first-tem students were captured and interpreted. The results of this study indicate that the focused students need English for work-related purposes, for using computers or operating machines. In daily life, they also need this foreign language to understand ads, purchase products or use computers. As for expectations, they want to use English for traveling; understanding songs, movies; communicating; and finding better job opportunities. The results also reveal that: (1) they prefer learning English by learning vocabulary; (2) they would like to have listening-comprehension activities; and (3) they would not like to perform tasks related to writing. Furthermore, the results reveal that learning English from the perspective of EJA students, as a phenomenon of human experience, is structured in seven themes: knowledge, opportunity, difficulty, performance, lack, utility, motivation, and teacher. The results of this study may provide reference for teachers and researchers to comprehend, adapt, adjust and select materials for a variety of classroom situations
