O que revelam as narrativas de professores de língua estrangeira sobre sua prática docente?

Abstract

This is a qualitative narrative research, within the Field of Applied Linguistics, which aims at investigating what is revealed by narratives of teachers concerning their teaching pedagogies through the theoretical scope of sociocultural theory and some philosophers that follow this same train of thought (VYGOTSKY 1984, 2007, 2014; LANTOLF, 2000; SWAIN, 2000; FREIRE, 1989, 2001,2008, 2017; BAKHTIN, 2012; NORTON, 1995, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2017; VIEIRA-ABRAHÃO, 2012; PIROVANO, 2006; BARCELOS, 2011; SCHLATTER 2009; LIMA E PIRES, 2014) among others. Throughout this investigation, which was guided by some research questions, issues concerning literacy, identities, beliefs and teacher education arouse and had to be taken into account in the analysis. The data was collected through the teachers’s narratives about their education, class observation and notes on a field journal and, also, the tearchers’s narratives concerning their performance in class. The data analysis enabled us to notice different methodological approaches – which demonstrated, for instance, that even being in a post structuralist period (NORTON, 2016), still there have been pedagogical practices in which such approach prevails – identities movements and beliefs which have led us to restate how relevant it is, therefore, that teachers participate in teachers’s education courses.
