UM ALUNO FORMANDO DE LETRAS (INGLÊS): QUAIS SÃO SUAS CRENÇAS ACERCA DO PROCESSO DE ENSINO/APRENDIZAGEM DE LÍNGUA INGLESA?

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a senior student’s beliefs about the process of English teaching/learning in the Modern Languages course. The research has as theoretical framework studies in the area of teaching/learning foreign languages which focus on beliefs. As methodology, the case study was chosen and the following instruments for data collection were used: semi-open questionnaire, narrative and semi-structured interview. The results suggest these participant beliefs: grammar is not relevant in that process, group work is quite important, and the good language learner is the one that “pays attention to his teacher”.
