[en] This paper aims to evaluate the ESP classes offered to Business English students in two language courses in Rio de Janeiro and analyze the relevance of the textbook selected as course material. The data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires (with students, teachers and coordinators of both language schools); classroom observation; and document analysis. The triangulation of the data elicited from the different instruments has showed that the course book chosen does not entirely fulfill the needs of the learners concerning the use of English in professional contexts. Despite being considered appropriate by coordinators and some teachers in both courses, this research showed that the textbook can be much more effective and meaningful when complemented with materials brought by the teachers and students, who can better identify the learner’s needs.
