Discursos, concepções e percursos teórico-metodológicos na formação inicial de professores de língua inglesa

Abstract

The present study is attached to researches about the initial formation of foreign language teachers, as well as to researches in the field of Dialogical Discourse Analysis. The research which led to this study aimed to analyse how the institutional and teacher discourses reflect theoretical and didactic-methodological conceptions demonstrating, in the discourse of students, the initial formation of English language teachers. The theoretical coordinates that support the reflections in this analysis have their origin in the dialogical studies, highlighting the following concepts: concrete utterance (BAKHTIN, 2015a; BRAIT; MELO, 2005), heteroglossia (ZANDWAIS, 2009; FARACO, 2009), dialogism (BAKHTIN/ VOLOCHÍNOV, 2014; BAKHTIN, 2015b; FIORIN, 2016), axiology (VOLOCHÍNOV, 2013; FARACO, 2009) and reported speech (FARACO, 2009). This research is based on a qualitative-interpretative approach and it was configured as a documentary analysis allied to the case study of the Letras Português/ Inglês Course of UFRPE / UAG, which included the identification, verification and examination of documents and the application of data collection instruments to achieve the aims of the research. The conclusions point out that the official discourse of the High Education Institution (HEI) could be more punctual in the study of theoretical-methodological and didactic-pedagogical conceptions for the teaching of English language and articulate the linguistic and pedagogical spheres of knowledge on language. The university professors could articulate their repertoire of knowledge on the English language to their teaching in order to influence the construction of the teaching repertoire of the students and these latter need to seek autonomy in relation to the development of their language proficiency or develop more refined communicative skills, besides the pedagogical deepening for their practices as English teachers.
