As contribuições desse ramo da Linguística Aplicada (LA) têm sido prolíferas no que tange os estudos que enfatizam o desenvolvimento de programas de ensino de segunda língua (L2) e, em especial, o desenvolvimento de programas de ensino para a docência em L2. Os principais temas investigativos em FPL2 são relacionados às experiências dos professores na aprendizagem e no ensino de L2; as origens e o desvelamento dos processos mentais dos professores e o seu impacto no ensino de L2; e o papel dos contextos de aprendizagem e de ensino de L2. Juntamente com as questões relacionadas à língua-alvo, esses três tópicos - experiência, processos mentais e contextos - constituem o sistema da aprendizagem para a docência de inglês no contexto do ENSINO MÉDIO DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA BRASILEIRA, o qual é proposto como construto de aprendizagem para o ensino nesse âmbito específico a partir dos princípios oriundos da Teoria da Complexidade e da Teoria Sociocultural. O OBJETIVO deste estudo é contribuir para o debate atual que envolve a melhoria da qualidade do ensino médio da educação básica brasileira com base em estudos fundamentados na LA que enfatize a FPL2 de uma perspectiva interacionista. A abordagem reivindicatória / participatória do presente estudo qualitativo é reiterada pela participação de sete professores de língua inglesa do ensino médio de escolas públicas e particulares, os quais colaboraram com suas narrativas escritas e orais através de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A sua contribuição é, assim, a composição de construto que oferece alternativa para a FPL2, ou seja, um olhar que reconheça a interconexão sistêmica dos elementos envolvidos no desenvolvimento profissional dos professores de inglês, particularmente quando considerado a partir de uma perspectiva situada. / Second Language Teacher Education (SLTE) as a field of inquiry has developed under the strong influence of Sociocultural Theory (SCT) over the past decades. The findings of this Applied Linguistics (AL) branch of investigation have contributed greatly to the development of second language (L2) teaching programs in general and to learning to teach L2 programs in particular. Main themes of inquiry in the SLTE field are related to practitioners’ experiences in learning and teaching the L2; the origins and the unfolding of teacher cognition and its impact in L2 teaching; and the role of contexts of learning and of teaching L2. Along with the target language, these three topics — experience, cognition, and contexts — are part of a system that comprises the learning to teach English language in the Brazilian secondary school context, which is proposed to embrace a construct of learning to teach in such specific setting. The aim of this study is to contribute to the debate on the improvement of Brazilian secondary schooling by departing from AL findings on SLTE — as opposed to the acceptation of teacher training. The advocacy / participatory approach of this qualitative study is reinforced by the collaboration of seven secondary school English language teachers, who contributed with their written narratives followed by structured interactive interviews. The prime contribution of this study is the proposal of an alternative perspective to English language teacher education, i.e., one that actually acknowledges the systemic intertwinedness of agents in English language teachers’ professional development, particularly from a situated point of view. In order to do so, a construct for SLTE for Brazilian secondary English language teachers is presented and developed from the perspective of Complexity Theory.

Läsförståelse är en av de viktigaste kunskaperna elever behöver ha med sig i sin skolgång där de enligt läroplanen ska möta olika typer av texter, bland annat faktatexter. Utan förståelse för texten blir innehållet bara sidor med ord utan innebörd. För SvA-elever är detta speciellt påtagligt. För att förstå textens innehåll behöver eleven ha förkunskap om innehållet. För att utveckla SvA-elevers läsförståelse kan läraren arbeta med olika metoder för förkunskapsarbete. Denna studie undersöker förkunskapsarbetets betydelse för SvA-elevers läsförståelse av faktatext i åk 3. Den baseras på ett experiment med tre grupper SvA-elever om deras förkunskapsarbete och läsförståelse av faktatext. Studiens syfte är att studera utfallen av läsförståelse av faktatext dels utan förkunskapsarbete dels med förkunskapsarbete i bildstödsprogrammet Symwriter och med lärares synonymer, gester och omformuleringar. Efter experimentet har en intervju gjorts med SvA-läraren om hur hon arbetar med förkunskap för läsförståelse. Resultatet visar att förkunskaparbete ger eleverna ökad läsförståelse. Metoderna för förkunskapsarbete i experimentet visade på liknande resultat.

Despite a growing body of research on trainee teachers’ learning during pre-service programs, intensive introductory TESL training courses are still designed to instruct a “standard” type of trainee teacher. This research study investigates the factors that mediate trainee teachers’ learning process as well as the interaction between these factors, which either facilitate and/or hinder trainee teachers’ success during an intensive introductory TESL training course. Using a qualitative holistic single-case study, informed by an interpretivist perspective, this study explores how three trainee teachers learned how to teach during a course in Southern Ontario, Canada. An integrated conceptual framework, formed by a sociocultural perspective of teacher learning, a holistic view of curriculum, and transformative pedagogy was employed and the findings include four major factors that mediated trainee teachers’ teacher learning process and three types of interaction that facilitated and/or hindered their success during the program.
