TANACA, Jozélia Jane Corrente; MATEUS, Elaine;

Resumo:

Through the sociocultural lens of learning and of language teacher’s education (MATEUS, 2005; 2006; JOHNSON, 2006; LIBERALI; MAGALHAES, 2009; EDWARDS, 2010; LIBERALI, 2013) we take, in this paper, the challenge proposed by Johnson (2006, p. 236) of examining and reflecting upon our (discursive) social practices and the role of teachers’ educators, with the intention of (re)creating practices that strengthen the professional learning process and the English language teaching for children, in a complex scenario of educational policies that do not take this field of work into consideration, as already stated by Santos, 2005, Tonelli and Cristóvão, 2010, Rocha, Tonelli and Silva, 2010, Tonelli and Chaguri, 2012, Gimenez, 2009, 2013, Tonelli and Gimenez, 2013, Gimenez et al, 2013, among other scholars.
