RESUMO

A growing interest in beliefs about language learning and teaching has emerged among Applied Linguistics researchers. Nevertheless, a heavy criticism on the research in the area has been occurring over the last years. For some researchers (KALAJA, 1995; BARCELOS, 2000), much of the work done in the past has only sought to identify students and teachers beliefs (HOLIDAY, 1985, 1988; KERN, 1995, WENDEN, 1986), disregarding the social context where they were inserted. Recent research (KALAJA, 1995, BARCELOS, 2000; WOODS, 1996, 2003) have pointed out the need of a deeper analysis on beliefs, considering not only the student previous learning experiences, but also the students and teachers actions (SAKUI &GAIES, 1999) and the social context where the language teaching and learning processes take place and, also, the relationship between them. Therefore, this study seeks do identify and analyze the relations between the beliefs about language learning of learners and their English teacher in a public school context, focusing on the influences of students beliefs on the teachers classroom practice. The participants are seventh-grade EFL students and their English teacher, in the state of Goias. The following sources of data gathering were used: interviews, questionnaires, note taking, narrative and a reflexive session with the teacher, which defines the nature of this research as an ethnographic qualitative study. The analysis results suggest that the interpretations the teacher has made from students actions in the classroom interfere in her practice, creating conflicts that result in adjustments on her teaching approach. The results also show the re-construction of her beliefs about English language teaching and learning in the context of public schools.
