OS DESAFIOS DOS GRADUANDOS EM LETRAS NO ESTÁGIO OBRIGATÓRIO DE LÍNGUA INGLESA: ANALISANDO O CONTEXTO DA UFMS/CPAQ

Abstract

The intention of this research is to address the training of English language teachers offered by the Letters course at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Aquidauana campus. Specifically, we will seek to analyze how teaching practice courses influence and contribute to the actions of students during mandatory internships, followed by the observation and study of the experiences lived by the students during classroom practices throughout the teaching internship period. The analysis of these issues is based on theoretical assumptions from various authors, including Ialago & Duran (2008) and Pimenta & Lima (2019) among the main ones. The work involved phases of documentary research, literature review, as well as theoretical framework, conducting interviews, and analysis of the research corpus. The final results indicate that internship courses need to be reorganized so that students understand that in the role of a teacher, theory plays a fundamental role in providing support for interpretation and analysis, enabling them to understand the social, political, cultural, and organizational contexts that influence not only their teaching activities but also the school environment as a whole. This understanding is essential for the effective integration of theory into educational practice. The development of this process is facilitated through research activities, which begin with the analysis and problematization of actions and practices, comparing them with theoretical explanations, experiences of other professionals, and perspectives from various fields of knowledge.
