Os parâmetros curriculares para o ensino fundamental e o ensino de língua inglesa: considerações sobre os processos educacionais de três escolas do Bairro de Mandacaru, no município de João Pessoa

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the use of the guidelines of a national curriculum and state curriculum frameworks for elementary schools in three public schools located in the city of João Pessoa. We used a qualitative approach as a research methodology, and data were collected through questionnaires with an English teacher from each school and the observation of six lessons each of these teachers. We sought to understand the perceptions of teachers on the role these documents play in relation to teaching practice as well as research on other elements that inform the educational processes of the English language. There is generally a distant pedagogical practice than suggested by official documents, which points to the need to increase teachers' knowledge on the documents and on their pedagogical knowledge as a whole.
