[pt] Este estudo investiga a construção identitária do professor coordenador de inglês, com enfoque na avaliação. O arcabouço teórico fundamenta-se no conceito de identidade pelo viés de teorias do socioconstrucionismo (Bhabha, 1994; Bucholtz e Hall, 2003, 2005; Moita Lopes, 2002, 2003) e da Sociologia (Bauman, 2005; Giddens, 1999; Hall, 1992), concebendo a construção de identidades como um processo desenvolvido discursivamente na interação. As interações são analisadas a partir das noções de enquadre (Goffman,1974), esquemas de conhecimento (Tannen e Wallet ([1987] 2002 ), footing (Goffman, [1979] 2002), e face (Goffman, [1967] 2011). As instâncias de avaliação são abordadas na perspectiva da teoria da narrativa segundo Labov e Waletzky (1967) e Labov (1972) e na visão socioconstrucionista da narrativa como prática social (Bastos, 2005; Bruner, 1997; Cortazzi e Jim, 2001; Linde,1993; Mishler, 1999; Moita Lopes, 2003), sendo também consideradas a Teoria Sociocognitiva da Metáfora (Gibbs, 1994) e a Teoria da Avaliatividade (Martin, 2003; White, ([2001] 2012). Esta pesquisa de cunho qualitativo-interpretativo foi conduzida em uma escola da Rede de Ensino Privada do Rio de Janeiro. Além da professora pesquisadora, participaram deste trabalho quatro professores de língua inglesa bem como a professora coordenadora de inglês, a vice-diretora e o diretor da instituição. Os resultados mostram que, durante a interação, os participantes resignificam as suas interpretações a respeito das identidades do professor coordenador de inglês, que é considerado um mediador ou gerenciador de processos, situações e relacionamentos. Os dados revelam que o afeto, julgamentos e apreciações permeiam a construção identitária do professor coordenador, que também é constituída pelas relações de poder e influenciada pela identidade institucional. / [en] This study aims to investigate the identity construction of the Head of the English Department, with a focus on evaluation. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of identity construction according to socio constructionist (Bhabha, 1994; Bucholtz and Hall, 2003, 2005; Moita Lopes, 2002, 2003) and sociological (Bauman, 2005; Giddens, 1999; Hall, 1992) theories that conceive identity building as a process developed in discourse during interaction. For an analysis of the interaction, the notions of frame (Goffman, 1974), knowledge schemas (Tannen and Wallet ([1987] 2002), footing (Goffman, [1979] 2002), and face (Goffman, [1967] 2011) are considered. Evaluation is approached from the following perspectives: the labovian theory of narrative (Labov and Waletzky,1967; Labov,1972), the socio constructionist notion of narrative as social practice (Bastos, 2005; Bruner, 1997; Cortazzi and Jim, 2001; Linde,1993; Mishler, 1999; Moita Lopes, 2003), the Socio Cognitive Theory of Metaphore (Gibbs, 1994) and Appraisal Theory (Martin, 2003; White, ([2001] 2012). This research, which follows a qualitative-interpretative approach, was carried out at a school from the private sector in Rio de Janeiro. Apart from the teacher researcher, four English teachers participated in this work as well as the Head of the English Department and the principal and vice-principal of the institution. Results show that during the interaction participants re-signify their interpretations with respect to the identities of the Head of the English Department, who is regarded as a mediator or manager of processes, situations and relationships. The data reveals that affection, judgment and appreciation permeate the Head of the English Department identity construction, which is also constituted by power relations and influenced by the institutional identity.

This exploratory, qualitative research explored the extent that course syllabi in the Departments of English in 13 public and 9 private universities in Taiwan reflect the inclusion of syllabus components to promote learning as recommended in the literature in the United States. Research questions included: what components can be inferred from the literature in the U.S. for the recommended components of a course syllabus, for the components for a learning-centered syllabus, and for a model to analyze Bloom's cognitive level of learning? And when these are applied to analyze course syllabi in English courses, are syllabi in these universities congruent with the models? The research identified and analyzed 235 course syllabi from the core courses listed online at these universities. The findings indicated that these syllabi are highly congruent with the syllabus components template; 68% of the syllabi included seven or more of the ten components. Additionally, these syllabi reflect medium congruency with the learning-centered syllabus template. Verbs used in objectives and learning outcomes in different English courses indicate different levels of cognitive learning goals as identified by Bloom's cognitive domain. Additional findings indicate that there was no difference in inclusion of components based on where faculty earned their doctoral degree. This research assumed similarities between higher education in Taiwan and the U.S., conclusions indicate that the course syllabi in Departments of English in Taiwan are congruent with the models recommended in the literature in the U.S.
