To better understand this relationship, the present study is based on a corpus of transcribed interviews and questionnaires applied to 28 undergraduate students majoring in Letters/English emphasis, at a public university located in the interior of the Western Amazon region, soliciting their opinions about the reforms made in the curriculum of this Major. Interviews and questionnaires were used as data collection instruments to trace a profile of the students organized in Group 1, with freshmen and sophomore undergraduates who are following the 2009 curriculum, and Group 2, with junior and senior undergraduates who are following the 2006 curriculum. The objectives are to identify, to characterize and to analyze the types of pronouns, roles and social actors represented in the opinions of these students in relation to their teacher training curriculum. The theoretical support focuses on the challenge of historical and contemporary routes from English teachers initial education programs (MAGALH?ES; LIBERALLI, 2009; PAVAN; SILVA, 2010; ALVAREZ, 2010; VIANA, 2011; PAVAN, 2012). Our theoretical perspective is based on the Systemic Functional Grammar of Halliday (1994), Halliday and Hasan (1989), Halliday and Matthiessen (2004), Eggins (1994; 2004) and Thompson (2004). We focus on the concept of the Interpersonal meaning, specifically regarding the roles articulated in the studies by Delu (1991), Thompson and Thetela (1995), and in the Portuguese language such as Ramos (1997), Silva (2006) and Cabral (2009). Moreover, we ascribe van Leeuwen s (1997; 2003) theory of Representation of Social Actors as a theoretical framework in order to identify the sociological aspect of social actors represented in the students discourse. Within this scenario, the analysis unfolds on three levels: grammatical (pronouns), semantic (roles), and discursive (social actors). For the analysis of interpersonal realizations present in the students opinions, we use the computational program WordSmith Tools (SCOTT, 2010) and its applications Wordlist and Concord to quantify the occurrences of the pronouns I, You and They, which characterize the roles and social actors of the corpus. The results show that the students assigned the following roles to themselves: (i) apprentice to express their initial process of English language learning; (ii) freshman to reveal their choice of Major in Letters/English emphasis; (iii) future teacher to relate their expectations towards a practicing professional. To assign the roles to professors in the major, the students used the metaphor of modality (I think) to indicate the relationship of teacher training, while they are in the role of a student and as a future teacher. From these evidences the representation of the students as social actors emerges in roles such as: (i) active roles; (ii) passive roles and (iii) personalized roles. The social actors represented in the opinions of the students reflect the inclusion of these roles assigned to the actions expressed about their experiences and expectations derived from their teacher training classroom / Pesquisas na ?rea de forma??o de professores de ingl?s como l?ngua estrangeira (CELANI, 2003, 2004, 2010; PAIVA, 2000, 2003, 2005; VIEIRA-ABRAH?O, 2010) dimensionam a complexidade de contextos da sala de aula de forma??o inicial em aliar o ensino da l?ngua com a pr?tica social e profissional do futuro professor. Como forma de fornecer subs?dios para a compreens?o dessa rela??o, a presente pesquisa baseia-se em um corpus composto de entrevistas transcritas de 28 alunos de um Curso de Letras/Ingl?s (CLI) de uma universidade p?blica localizada no interior da Amaz?nia Ocidental e suas opini?es acerca da reformula??o do curr?culo do curso. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram entrevistas e question?rios para tra?ar o perfil dos alunos do CLI concentrados em Grupo 1, com os alunos do 1? e 3? per?odos do curr?culo de 2009, e o Grupo 2, com os alunos do 5? e 7? per?odos do curr?culo de 2006. Os objetivos propostos buscam identificar, caracterizar e analisar os tipos de pronomes, os pap?is e os atores sociais representados nas opini?es dos alunos em rela??o ao curr?culo de sua forma??o inicial. O aporte te?rico enfoca os desafios do percurso hist?rico e contempor?neo dos programas de forma??o inicial de professores de l?nguas (MAGALH?ES; LIBERALLI, 2009; PAVAN; SILVA, 2010; ALVAREZ, 2010; VIANA, 2011; PAVAN, 2012). Para a perspectiva te?rica e anal?tica, apoiamo-nos na Gram?tica Sist?mico-Funcional (GSF) de Halliday (1994), Halliday e Hasan (1989), Halliday e Matthiessen (2004), Eggins (1994; 2004) e Thompson (2004). Focamos no conceito da Interpessoalidade, especificamente acerca dos pap?is abordados por Delu (1991), Thompson e Thetela (1995), e trabalhos em l?ngua portuguesa como os de Ramos (1997), Silva (2006) e Cabral (2009). A Teoria da Representa??o dos Atores Sociais de van Leeuwen (1997; 2003) contempla a base te?rica para identificarmos o car?ter sociol?gico dos atores sociais representados no discurso dos alunos. Com este panorama, o percurso proposto para an?lise percorre tr?s n?veis principais: os pronomes (n?vel gramatical), os pap?is (n?vel sem?ntico) e os atores sociais (n?vel discursivo). Para a an?lise das marcas interpessoais presentes nas opini?es dos alunos, utilizamos o programa computacional WordSmith Tools (SCOTT, 2010), e suas ferramentas Wordlist (Lista de Palavras) e Concord (Concordanciador) para quantificar as ocorr?ncias dos pronomes: Eu, Voc? e Eles, que permitam caracterizar os pap?is e os atores sociais no corpus. Os resultados demonstram que os alunos atribuem a si mesmos os seguintes pap?is: (i) aprendiz para expressar o processo inicial de seu aprendizado com o ingl?s; (ii) ingressante na licenciatura para expor suas escolhas em cursar Letras/Ingl?s; (iii) futuro professor para relacionar suas expectativas com a pr?tica profissional. Para atribuir os pap?is aos professores e o curso, os alunos utilizam a met?fora de modalidade, Eu acho que para marcar as rela??es da forma??o inicial como aluno e futuro professor. Destas evid?ncias emergem os atores sociais representados pelos alunos em: (i) pap?is ativos; (ii) pap?is passivos e (iii) pap?is personalizados. Esses atores sociais representados nas opini?es dos alunos refletem a inclus?o dos pap?is atribu?dos para as a??es expressas acerca das experi?ncias e expectativas oriundas da sala de aula de sua forma??o

Foca-se em quatro aspectos na graduação do professor de línguas: a orientação, a mediação, a reflexão e a aprendizagem em teletandem. Nesta pesquisa discute-se, através de um recurso tecnológico, o módulo Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro, a orientação, a mediação e a reflexão pelos alunos-professores de uma universidade estadual paulista, inseridos em um laboratório de teletandem. Neste laboratório, os alunos do curso de Letras, denominados aqui de alunos-orientadores, ministram sessões de orientação teórica e tecnológica para os alunos ingressantes no projeto Teletandem Brasil: língua estrangeira para todos, isto é, aqueles que ainda não iniciaram o seu processo de aprendizagem de língua estrangeira em teletandem. Assim, a pesquisa em questão constitui-se basicamente em três etapas: i) observação das sessões de orientação presenciais ministradas pelos alunos-orientadores no laboratório de teletandem; ii) leitura, reflexão e análise do diário-reflexivo dos alunos-orientadores acerca destas sessões de orientação teórica e iii) realização das sessões de mediação online com os alunos-orientadores pelo módulo Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro. O interesse no desenvolvimento da pesquisa surgiu pelas necessidades e inquietações na minha experiência como aluna do curso de Letras, isto é, como professora de língua estrangeira em formação inicial carente de maior orientação e reflexão da natureza que este novo contexto de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas em tandem permite oferecer. Desta forma, objetivou-se, especificamente investigar quais os possíveis impactos da experiência de orientação, dada pelo aluno de Letras, futuro professor de LE, no... / This research study aimed at investigating the foreign language teacher‟s pre-service education in a teletandem‟s laboratory context. Specifically, it focuses on four aspects in the foreign language teacher‟s pre-service education: counseling, mediation, reflection and learning in teletandem. This study discusses, through a new technological resource, the Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro, the counseling, mediation and the reflection by the pre-service students from a state university in São Paulo state, inside a teletandem laboratory. In this laboratory, the undergraduate foreigner teachers, called at this study of counselor-students, provide theoretical and technological counseling sessions to the freshman students in the thematic project named Teletandem Brasil: língua estrangeira para todos, in other words, for those students who have not started their foreign language learning in teletandem process yet. Therefore, this research is basically constituted by three stages: i) observation of the face to face counseling sessions given by the counselor-students in the laboratory; ii) reading, reflection and analysis of the reflective diaries of the counselor-students about these face to face counseling sessions and iii) realization of the online mediation sessions with the counselor-students through the Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro. The interest to achieve this research arose by the needs and concerns within my experience as an undergraduate foreign language teacher, in other words, as a teacher in a pre-service education lacking more counseling and reflection of the nature that this new context of teaching and learning languages in-tandem can provide. Thus, the study aimed to investigate what are the possible impacts of the counseling sessions‟ experience, given by the... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

A globalização, deflagrada pelos navegadores da Renascença, trouxe à tona, dentre outras coisas, o movimento de internacionalização idiomática. Atualmente, como parte das políticas linguísticas externas de muitos estados-nação, o referido processo é encarado como pertencente a um mercado de línguas (CALVET, 2002), dentro do qual são produzidos e comercializados bens e serviços ligados aos diferentes idiomas do mundo. O governo brasileiro, por sua vez, no âmbito do Departamento Cultural do Ministério das Relações Exteriores (MRE), mantém a Rede Brasil Cultural, por meio da qual promove planejamentos diversos no sentido de internacionalizar o idioma oficial nacional. Dentre eles, está o Programa de Leitorado política datada de 1960 e cuja principal ambição é divulgar a língua e a cultura do Brasil em universidades do exterior, contando para isso com profissionais (professores-leitores) selecionados via edital, por meio de parceria entre a Coordenadoria de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e o MRE. Nesse contexto, a presente tese volta-se ao objetivo de revelar o que o perfil profissional de ex-leitores e as experiências de cada um deles sugerem à prática de internacionalização idiomática desenvolvida pelo Programa de Leitorado, bem como à formação brasileira de professores de português para falantes de outras línguas (PFOL). Para isso, a linha metodológica, abrigada no âmbito da pesquisa qualitativa, organizou-se a partir da realização de entrevistas, pesquisas documentais, aplicação de questionário e análise discursiva semiolinguística. De modo geral, mediante um contexto de desprofissionalização da docência, a discussão gerou a percepção de que pontos de fragilidade caracterizam a execução do Programa de Leitorado, o que também esclareceu a existência de demandas relativas a reconfigurações. Partindo disso, do objetivo estabelecido pelo MRE para o Programa de Leitorado, bem como dos discursos de ex-leitores, de suas sugestões e dos dilemas relatados quanto à experiência de ser leitor brasileiro, o trabalho termina com a proposição de um curso voltado à formação de futuros leitores, o que diz respeito tanto a uma tentativa de ampliar as capacidades dessa política quanto de repensar a formação de professores de PFOL em solo nacional. / Globalisation, triggered by the explorers of Renaissance, has brought up, among other issues, the movement of language internationalisation. Currently, as part of numerous nation states external linguistic policies, such process is regarded as language market (CALVET, 2002), in which languages from different parts of the world are linked to economic and political relations and used to produce and sell goods and services. Brazilian government, for their part, within the scope of The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Portuguese: Ministério das Relações Exteriores - MRE), maintains the Rede Brasil Cultural whereby varied projects, aimed at internationalising the official national language, are undertaken. Among such projects, we can mention Programa de Leitorado (Lectureships) a policy dated back to 1960, whose main ambition is to disseminate Brazils language and culture to foreign universities around the world via university professors (readers / lecturers). These positions are offered through public notice, published by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Portuguese: Coordenadoria de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior CAPES). Within this context, this thesis is meant to verify what the profile of former lecturers and their experience arouse concerning the practice of the internationalisation of the language developed by Programa de Leitorado as well as Teacher Training for Portuguese to Speakers of Other Languages (Portuguese: Português para Falantes de Outras Línguas - PFOL). Hence, the methodological approach in qualitative research was carried out by means of surveys, documental examination, questionnaires and semiolinguistic discursive analysis. As a whole, before a scenario of teaching deprofessionalisation, the examination depicts the frailties of Programa de Leitorado as well as the demands on its reconfiguration. Taking into consideration the established objective by MRE for this programme along with the account provided by former lecturers, their suggestions and posed dilemmas concerning their experience of being a Brazilian lecturer, the paper ends with a proposal on a course focusing on potential lecturers. It reflects not only on an attempt at expanding the competences of this policy but also on re-evaluating PFOL teacher training in Brazilian territory.

Le nouveau paradigme de l’éducation plurilingue et interculturelle lancé au niveau européen redéfinit le rôle de l’enseignant de langues et influence le contenu de sa formation universitaire. Dans cette recherche nous nous sommes interrogées sur les influences possibles de la politique éducative et linguistique européenne au niveau de la formation initiale des enseignants de langues en Grèce. L’analyse des programmes d’étude des huit départements de langues grecs a été réalisée sous l’angle des propositions européennes et de leur applicabilité en Grèce. Notre recherche a révélé une grande diversité de programmes de formation offerte aux futurs enseignants de langues et un suivi des axes proposés au niveau européen. La recherche quantitative et qualitative que nous avons menée nous a permis de dégager les représentations des enseignants d’anglais, de français, d’allemand et d’italien concernant leur formation initiale et le rapport de celle-ci avec leurs pratiques. Un total de 147 enseignants de langues ont répondu aux questionnaires alors que 30 ont participé aux entretiens. Notre intention visait à observer le degré auquel les propositions européennes correspondaient aux besoins des enseignants. Les résultats ont vérifié notre hypothèse à savoir que la formation proposée pouvait couvrir les besoins des enseignants et les aider à faire face aux nouveaux défis éducatifs. Le discours des enseignants a cependant révélé que le contexte éducatif ne permet pas toujours d’appliquer en classe les savoirs acquis pendant la formation initiale. / The new paradigm of plurilingual and intercultural education that is being promoted at European level, as well as the incorporation of communication technology in teaching of languages, re-define the role of the languages’ teacher and in consequence influence the content of his/her education. In this study our initial hypotheses address the possible influence of the European educational and linguistic policy on the initial education of the languages’ teacher in Greece. We advanced to an analysis of the study programs of Greek foreign language departments under the prism of the European proposals and their implementation in Greece. Initially, the research revealed a big differentiation among programs of education of future teachers. We found that the majority follows the axes being proposed at European level and that efforts focus mainly on the relevance between theory and practice. We also carried out a quantitative and qualitative research in order to determine the convictions of languages’ teachers who work in public schools with regard to their initial education and the way they teach. Our aim was to observe in which degree European proposals correspond to the needs of languages’ teachers. The results confirmed our initial hypotheses that the education being proposed could cover the needs of teachers and help them face the new educational challenges. However, their testimonies revealed that the environment they work in does not always allow the application of what they have learned during their education. / Η πολυγλωσσική και διαπολιτισμική εκπαίδευση που προωθείται σε ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο καθώς και η ενσωμάτωση των τεχνολογιών της επικοινωνίας στην διδασκαλία των γλωσσών επαναπροσδιορίζουν τον ρόλο του εκπαιδευτικού γλωσσών και κατά συνέπεια επηρεάζουν το περιεχόμενο της εκπαίδευσης του. Σε αυτή την έρευνα εξετάζουμε τις πιθανές επιρροές της ευρωπαϊκής εκπαιδευτικής και γλωσσικής πολιτικής στην αρχική εκπαίδευση των εκπαιδευτικών γλωσσών στην Ελλάδα. Προχωρήσαμε σε μία ανάλυση των προγραμμάτων σπουδών των οκτώ ελληνικών τμημάτων γλωσσών υπό το πρίσμα των ευρωπαϊκών προτάσεων και της εφαρμογής τους στην Ελλάδα. Η έρευνα μας αποκάλυψε αρχικά την μεγάλη διαφοροποίηση των προγραμμάτων εκπαίδευσης των μελλοντικών καθηγητών και την εναρμόνιση τους με τους αξονες που προτείνονται σε ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο. Η ποσοτική και ποιοτική έρευνα που διεξήγαμε μας επέτρεψε να δούμε τις πεποιθήσεις των καθηγητών αγγλικών, γαλλικών, γερμανικών και ιταλικών για την αρχική τους εκπαίδευση και την σχέση και την σχέση αυτής με τον τρόπο που κάνουν μάθημα. Συνολικά 147 καθηγητές γλωσσών απάντησαν στα ερωτηματολόγια και 30 ακόμη συμμετείχαν στις συνεντεύξεις. Ο σκοπός μας ήταν να παρατηρήσουμε τον βαθμό που οι ευρωπαϊκές προτάσεις ανταποκρίνονται στις ανάγκες των καθηγητών γλωσσών. Τα αποτελέσματα επιβεβαίωσαν τις αρχικές μας υποθέσεις ότι η εκπαίδευση που προτείνεται θα μπορούσε να καλύψει τις ανάγκες των καθηγητών και να τους βοηθήσει να αντιμετωπίσουν τις νέες εκπαιδευτικές προκλήσεις. Ωστόσο οι μαρτυρίες των καθηγητών αποκάλυψαν ότι το περιβάλλον μέσα στο οποίο εργάζονται δεν επιτρέπει πάντοτε την εφαρμογή των γνώσεων που απέκτησαν κατά την διάρκεια της εκπαίδευσης τους.

The thesis deals with the code choice in the language classroom, particularly with teaching Czech as a foreign language. This thesis is an excursion into contemporary teaching Czech as a foreign language and its main aim is to explore the role of the code choice in CFL teaching and find out the motives of this choice on the part of the teacher - whole thesis is therefore primarily concerned with teacher's code choice in the language classroom and with factors that influence the choice. This aim is realized with the use of several case studies that examine in detail the code choice in several courses of Czech for foreigners using participant observation, semi- structured interview and the results of previous similar studies are taken into account. In conclusion, the results of individual studies are compared and we tried to find out trends and key factors that could play an important role in the code choice in the language classroom. Key words : Czech as foreign language, classroom language communication, case study, teacher talk, code choice, mediating language

This dissertation thesis deals with lifelong education, specifically a programme provided by the Department of English Language and Literature at Charles University, Prague. The thesis is divided into two parts: theoretical and research. In the theoretical part, the theoretical basis of lifelong education is analysed, as well as trends in selected aspects of it. In the research part, data about appropriate programmes from other European countries as well as curricula from other universities and colleges in the Czech Republic and from abroad are analysed. The results of the pilot stage, the questionnaire distributed among the successful participants of the lifelong education programme, which are followed by semi-structured interviews, are presented and compared. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teachers teaching in this programme. Content analysis is used to process, compare and interpret the collected data with regard to the programme in question and to the aims of the thesis. The main aims of the dissertation thesis are to find out how similar programmes are structured in the Czech Republic and abroad, what expectations the participants had before starting the programme at Charles University and the extent to which they were met, and whether or not they regard the...
