Os Sentidos da formação narrativas de professores de inglês sobre suas experiências de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

This paper focuses on the experiences of teaching and learning English of a group of teachers who participated in a diploma course on teaching in a large Brazilian university. The purpose of the text is to present and discuss narratives of experiences lived by these teachers related to the five human senses: hearing, sight, taste, touch and smell. The project was inspired by Pennycook's (2015) suggestion on research related to the human senses and involves narratives about teaching and learning English. The results show a set of narratives related to the human senses that may be associated to issues of empowerment, agency, belonging and the desire to become an English teacher. We conclude that teacher education can create spaces so that students and in-service teachers feel part of a new reality and use the power of language knowledge to conquer their place in the world.
