Relato de experiência: os desafios da docência enquanto estagiário e professor de língua inglesa

Abstract

This paper presents an experience report on the challenges of English language teaching, experienced from the perspective of an intern and pre-service teacher. It aims to analyze and compare my pedagogical practices in two distinct scenarios: the supervised teaching internship at a language school within the Ceará state public school system and my role as a lead teacher in a private educational institution. This is a narrative research study of an autobiographical nature, utilizing reflective journals and my own insights into teaching practices for data analysis. The theoretical framework addresses content-based language teaching methodologies (CBLT and CLIL), the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, and bilingual education, as well as initial teacher education, the context of implementing both methodologies, and the necessity for extensive interdisciplinary investigation. The results suggest that while academic training provides a linguistic foundation, it requires the teacher to adopt an autonomous and reflective researcher stance to overcome the pedagogical gaps encountered in daily school life.
