RESUMO

This work aims at problematizing an imaginary, to a certain extent established, about the devaluation of English teaching in state schools, from a discussion regarding the question of responsibility in/for the process of teaching and learning the language, and from the analysis of the speech of interviewed. Firstly, we suggest a reflexion upon the concept of responsibility by searching for its historic origins and development in the moral and judicial fields, as well as broadening its conceptualization as the subjects response to the discourses that constitute him/her. From a discursive theoretical perspective, on which the analysis of the interviews in this research are based, we have attempted to delineate how the state school English teachers representations relate to discourses of (de)valuation of their profession, and the responses that arise from this relation. In order to do so, we focus on the images of the English teaching and learning process, of students and of the school as an institution, among other elements that also constitute the teachers subjectivity. Finally, we investigate, in a deeper way, how the question of responsibility constitute the teacher represented both as a hero and a victim, due to discourses that, in a contradictory way, value and devalue him/her. One of our main conclusions reveals that, in the contact between these two apparently opposite positions, the idea of guilt appears and brings movement to some conflicts and dilemma which are constitutive of the state school English teacher´s image
