This article reports on the experience of two extension projects developed in two consecutive years, 2017 and 2018, at the Federal University of Campina Grande, called ‘English Language for the Elderly - Years I and II’. The projects offered English language activities for the elderly, with PIATI, the Interdisciplinary Support Program for the Elderly, which has been working at the UFCG for 15 years. The target audience consists of adults ranging from 60 to 78 years old. The principles of the communicative approach, which prioritize communication through interactions in the foreign language, considering real situations and interest of the students, underlie the didactic materials used and the methodology followed during the accomplishment of the activities. These materials were planned and prepared by the two students who applied the activities. The results reveal that the projects objectives have been achieved.
