The interest in researches related to English teaching and learning for children has motivated a growing number of studies in recent decades. However, there are still very few studies that explore the evaluation of teaching materials for such group, a fact that motivated the development of this work. In this way, this study aims at evaluating a didactic unit used for English teaching and learning in an institution that provides social services for lower class children in the south of São Paulo. This unit, called Identity was developed by PEIC, a project originated from an offshoot of the project "Training teachers for English teaching and learning for children" which aims to develop teachers on teaching and learning through critical and reflexive practice. The theoretical framework of this work consists of the following studies: the socio-historical-cultural teaching and learning (VYGOTSKY, 1934/1993; 1934/1998), the characteristics of the child as a learner of languages (MOON, 2000; HALLIWELL, 1992; READ, 2007; PINTER, 2006), issues related to identity (HALL, 1992/2001; NORTON, 1997), the requirements of the Brazilian official documents described in PCN-LE (BRAZIL, 1998) and considerations on the production and evaluation of instructional materials (CUNNINGSWORTH, 1995; TOMLINSON, 2001.2003; GRAVES, 2000; RAMOS, 2009). The results showed that the material assessed proposes learning of the English language through peer interaction, with a socio-historical-cultural view of language and learning and spiral design. Moreover, it has proved to be efficient, because it proposes language development through actions which advocate respect and dignity to children, thus fulfilling a role as an agent of social integration
