Abstract:
This article is a sample extract from my Master's dissertation presented as a requirement for the Master's Degree in Applied Linguistics in Foreign Language Teaching, at the University of Brasilia UnB), in Brazil, within Teaching and Learning of Foreign Language área.The completion of this work was on the investigative basis of non-native English-speaking teachers’ oral skills, by mapping their working practices within elementary and secondary schools, in the public and private sectors, and a language teaching cooperative school, in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, Cooplem Idiomas. In the literature, I present comparative tables between the performance bands from the referential performance languages levels (RENIDE Project) and the oral profile of the participants who took part in the research, within the context of language teaching policies (POELIN). I try to understand the phenomena of oral circulation in the classroom, using appropriate tools and resources such as questionnaires, classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, using qualitative method in order to answer two questions in light of the current literature that deals with personal dispositions, values in the tradition of teaching and learning in schools, in Brazil, taking into consideration the schools and teachers who participated in the research. By adopting the case study, I point out the findings reflecting the oral profiles found.
