INVESTIGANDO O PAPEL DO PROFESSOR-RESIDENTE NAS ESCOLHAS DE TRANSITIVIDADE EM RELATOS REFLEXIVOS DA RESIDÊNCIA PEDAGÓGICA NO CURSO DE LETRAS INGLÊS

Abstract

The English Language (EL) holds the title of most influential language in the world, being the language with the largest number of users on the planet. Its influence extends to the educational field, so that articles and research to reach a larger audience tend to be published in English. The globalization of the language extended to the Undergraduate English language course (UFPB - Federal University of Paraíba), especially in the subjects of Supervised Internship and in the Pedagogical Residency Program (PR), which stimulate constant reflection about the teaching of EL. In 2018, the Federal Government created the Pedagogical Residency Program, which aims at dialogue between the largest teacher training loci , the school and the university. For the Residency experience of this research, the residents of my group were assigned to the Escola Cidadã Integral (ECIT), Olivina Olivia Carneiro da Cunha, in João Pessoa. At each visit made during the project, we were instructed to produce a reflective report, which will be analyzed in this research. The main objective of this research is to investigate the representation of a Resident Professor and the dynamics operating in the classroom built on his own reflective report, more specifically the work investigates: in particular, the figure of the Resident Professor, together with other participants such as the Teacher-Preceptor, Students, Classes and Activities represented in the relational, mental and material processes. The research has as theoretical framework the Functional Systemic Linguistics and the Transitivity System and has a qualitative-interpretative character. The result of the analysis revealed: (i) a greater representation of classes, students and / or activities in the classroom in relational processes, (ii) the representation of the figure of the Resident Teacher in mental processes, and (iii) the representation of the Resident Professor, Teacher-Preceptor, and / or Students in the material processes. In the section for presentation and discussion of the results of the analysis, the greatest number of occurrences of a positive nature stands out when compared to those of a negative nature, which points to the quality and effectiveness of the activities developed in the PR. Finally, report writing proved to be a good tool for reflecting and revisiting teaching practice.
