Resumo
O presente estudo, apoiando-se na contribuição das crenças de uma professora de inglês e de seus alunos, envolvidos em contexto de escola pública, objetiva caracterizar o nível de PO dessa docente e o uso da L-alvo na interação verbal (professor-aluno e alunoprofessor) em sua prática de sala de aula, no sentido de (re)definir seu perfil como docente de LI. Estas são questões fundamentais, relacionadas à constatação em pesquisas (PINHEL, 2004; GARCIA, 2001; CONSOLO, 1990) de que grande parte dos professores de LE possui um baixo nível de PO, restrita, na maioria dos casos, à produção oral de alguns comandos na L-alvo, o que pode resultar em um processo de aprendizagem frustrante e deficiente para seus alunos. Dessa forma, esta investigação caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa de bases interacionista e etnográfica, com procedimentos quantitativos, aplicada a um estudo de caso. A professora-participante deste estudo (P) atua na rede pública municipal, tendo 14 anos de prática pedagógica. Os dados analisados sugerem que a visão de linguagem e de ensino e aprendizagem de LI da professora voltada para a forma gramatical, corroborada por fatores sociais adversos presentes no contexto estudado, é coerente com a limitada PO apresentada pela mesma, no teste a que foi submetida e, ainda, com o pouco uso da L-alvo na interação verbal professor-aluno e aluno-professor. Ressalta-se que uma possível mudança relacionada à oralidade provavelmente não ocorrerá, caso a docente em questão não renove suas concepções de linguagem e de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas e não deixe de privilegiar a LM durante as aulas, em detrimento da LI, a qual poderia ser introduzida aos poucos nesse contexto, porém, continuamente, criando-se um ambiente favorável ao ensino de LE. Acredita-se, também, que a valorização do papel do inglês, sobretudo por parte dos alunos, e a busca dessa...
The present work, which had as support the beliefs of an English teacher as well as her students’, both involved in a public school context, aims at characterizing this teacher’s oral proficiency level and the use of the target language during the verbal interaction (teacher-student and student-teacher) in her teaching practice, seeking (re)definition of her profile as an ESL (English as Second Language) teacher. These issues are considered fundamental due to the evidence in many researches (PINHEL, 2004; GARCIA, 2001; CONSOLO, 1990) that the majority of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers have a low level of oral proficiency, restricted, in most cases, to the oral production of some commands in the target language, resulting in a frustrating and inefficient learning process to their students. Thus, this investigation is characterized as a research of ethnographic and interactive analysis traditions, having as well a quantitative focus, and constitutes a case study. The teacher who participated in this study has been teaching in a public school for 14 years. The data collected suggest that this teacher’s conception of language and teaching and learning process concerning grammar, strengthened by adverse factors that can be found in the context in question, is coherent to the limited oral proficiency presented by her when submitted to an oral test and to the insufficient use of the target language during the teacher-student and student-teacher verbal interaction. It is relevant to emphasize that a change related to the oral ability will not show results if the teacher in question does not renew her language learning and teaching conceptions, and continues using her mother language to the detriment of the target one which could be introduced little by little in this context, in a continuous way, producing a favorable environment to the teaching of a foreign language...
