This paper is an excerpt from a thesis developed in the Postgraduate Program in Language Studies at the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais. It aims to present the development of a teaching and research proposal based on gender pedagogy. It was supported by a functional perspective of language use. And also, It was considered that other modes of meaning need to be presented in the classroom, not just the verbal one. It is supported by the principle that all text is multimodal (Kress, 2010), that is, formed by more than one semiotic mode. As a methodology, participatory research was used. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and field notes. As a result, it was noticed that the focus of the activity was beyond teaching the language as a structure and allowed the development of other students' skills and knowledge. Difficulties were overcome and teach based on textual genres enables the use of language in real communication context.
