AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO ESTÁGIO SUPERVISIONADO NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DE PROFESSORES DE LE

Abstract

This work is based on a research project following a qualitative and exploratory approach, which has as its main purpose to foster debates on the initial education of English Language teachers, considering the contributions of supervised internship. The survey data were generated through an online questionnaire answered by 11 undergraduates who had practical and theoretical experiences in the subjects. We analyzed excerpts from the statements of these undergraduates with regard to the description of their internship experiences, challenges and impediments, in addition to the impact of the subjects on teacher education. Thus, the supervised internship subjects provide to undergraduates diverse kinds of knowledge about pedagogical knowledge, teaching practice and social concerns in their work environment.
