The relationships between teaching materials and language education, despite being part of teachers' daily practices, reveal issues that need to be discussed in the field of critical applied linguistics. The definition of teaching materials adopted in this study is in line with Tomlinson's (2012) and Harwood's (2010) proposal, that is, teaching material is everything that aids teachers in a classroom, as long as it has a pedagogical purpose. The selection, adaptation, development and the appropriate use of teaching material can represent a challenge for teachers, especially in the context of linguistic education with children (ELIC), considering the silencing of official documents, the need for constant teacher training for ELIC, and the specific characteristics of this age group. Therefore, the aim of this research is to present and discuss teachers in initial education perspectives on the development of teaching material for children. The participants of this study are students of the Letras-Inglês course at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES), who attended the elective course of ELIC. The generated data were obtained through a written interview created on Google Forms, the analysis of a didactic unit (DU) for very young learners and a semi-structured interview after the presentation of this DU. It is expected, with this study, to reflect upon teachers in initial education perspectives’ on teaching material, seeking to contribute to the production of knowledge on extremely important subjects that directly impact the teaching of English with children.
