Reflexões sobre os desafios contemporâneos

Abstract

Teaching English language learning in Brazil is increasingly playing a prominent role in the lives of many people, including living with obstacles that seem unsolved, such as schools without structures, large classes, reduced workload, many teachers with deficient training and without fluency in the English language, discontinuity in the contents and unmotivated students. Given this reality, the work has the general objective of carrying out a literature review about contemporary challenges in the teaching of the English language in Brazil, in order to find answers to the following problems: How has English language teaching been taking place in Brazil? And, what are the possible challenges of teaching English in Brazil in contemporary times and its consequences in the educational process? The adopted methodology is due to a bibliographic study, carried out in several literary works, scientific articles, theses, demonstrating a range of information on the studied subject. The results found with the research were acceptable precisely because it highlights the challenges and efficient ways of improving English teaching, reaching the conclusion that actions such as promoting interaction, cooperation, expanding the worldview of school managers, teachers and students making them more critical and reflective, about the challenges of English Language Teaching in Brazil are extremely important as solutions to the problem raised in this research.
