Resumen

Los textos auténticos en los libros de texto de inglés como lengua extranjera (ILE) son muy valorados por su capacidad de proporcionar a los alumnos una exposición al lenguaje del mundo real. En los libros de texto de ILE portugueses muy a menudo los textos auténticos se marcan como "adaptados", pero se han planteado pocos debates sobre cómo se adaptan y qué elementos se tienen en cuenta durante la adaptación del texto. Examinar las prácticas de adaptación es importante porque los libros de texto desempeñan un papel fundamental en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de lenguas. Conocer las decisiones de los autores de libros de texto ayuda a los profesores a tomar decisiones informadas sobre la mejor manera de utilizar dichos materiales. El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar la naturaleza de las adaptaciones textuales en los libros de texto de ILE portugueses y hasta qué punto se modifican los textos auténticos. Para ello, se han compilado manualmente dos corpus: uno compuesto por 37 textos adaptados extraídos de dos libros de texto portugueses de ILE, y el otro compuesto por sus homólogos auténticos no modificados. Cada texto adaptado se comparó con su correspondiente fuente original utilizando un conjunto de criterios predefinidos. Los resultados revelan que los textos adaptados difieren de la fuente auténtica en cuanto al tamaño, presentan una simplificación lingüística mínima y, con bastante frecuencia, no se identifican con precisión la fuente y la autoría.
