Resumo: A Língua Inglesa é considerada o idioma mais falado do mundo, sendo caracterizado como a língua da comunicação e das relações internacionais. Cada vez mais o número de falantes deste idioma vem crescendo, e a necessidade de dominá-la passa a fazer parte da maioria da vida das pessoas, sendo frequente a busca por cursinhos durante a idade adulta, por necessidade de se inserir no mercado de trabalho. Esta procura decorre justamente da falta de incentivo que a aprendizagem de uma segunda língua recebe durante a infância, em que essa realidade se reflete de forma mais atenuada quando comparado às escolas privadas e públicas, em que uma oferece esse tipo de ensino desde a Educação Infantil, contudo a outra somente oferta a partir do Ensino Fundamental- Anos Finais. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo intitulado “O ensino da língua inglesa na educação infantil: o distúnciamento entre a escola pública e privada.” tem por objetivo analisar como se deu a introdução da Língua Inglesa no Brasil, bem como verificar a diferença entre o ensino do inglês na Educação Infantil das escolas públicas e particulares, ressaltando a importância e as vantagens de aprender um segundo idioma ainda na infância. A base teórica do trabalho se deu através de autores como Santos (2011), Rossato (2012), Kumaravadivelu (2013), constituindo assim uma pesquisa bibliográfica, que fez uso do método qualitativo para elaboração do escrito. A partir do exposto no decorrer do trabalho, foi possível concluir que as crianças, em razão do fator curiosidade, são mais propícias para aprender coisas novas, e portanto à introdução do ensino da L.I desde a infância é essencial para que o gosto por um novo idioma se desenvolva. Destarte, foi imprescindível também notar que as diferenças entre as instituições de ensino pública e privada, são fatores que dificultam o trabalho com o Inglês, em razão da muita ou pouca importância que ele recebe em cada instituição. Depreende-se que, a Língua Inglesa deveria ser mais valorizada principalmente no que tange sua relevância dentro da sociedade, o que implica dizer que quanto mais cedo for iniciada nas escolas, mais validos serão os conhecimentos adquiridos a partir dela, e por isso o ideal é que se inicie seu processo de aprendizagem ainda na infância, em conjunto com a Língua Portuguesa. Palavras-Chave: Escola pública; Escola privada; Ensino; Língua Inglesa; Infância. Abstract: The English language is considered the world’s most spoken language, being characterized as the communication and international relationships language. The number of people who speak this language has been increasing, and the need of knowing it precisely became a part of most of these people, so they search for lessons during their adulthood, to upgrade themselves in the business market. This need comes from the low encouragement received when it comes to bilingual education during the childhood, and this reality hits when we compare the public and private schools education, when one offers this type of education during the elementary school, and the other only introduces it from the late years in elementary school. With this in mind, the present article named “The English language teaching during the kindergarten: the gap between public and private school.” is focused in analyzing how the English language was introduced here in Brazil, and also verify the differences between the English education of private and public schools, being aware about the importance and benefits of learning a second language during the childhood. This article is based in works from authors like Santos (2011), Rossato (2012), Kumaravadivelu (2013), constituting a bibliographical research, using the qualitative method to formulate the article. From the above during this article, it was possible to conclude that children, from their curiosity, are more favorable to learn new things, so the introduction of the English education starting in their kindergarten it’s fundamental to develop interest for a new language. Thus, it was also essential to note that the differences between public and private educational institutions are factors that make working with English difficult, due to the high or low importance it receives in each institution. It appears that the English language should be more valued especially with regard to its relevance within society, which implies that the earlier it is started in schools, the more valid the knowledge acquired from it will be, and therefore the ideal is to start their learning process still in childhood, together with the Portuguese language. Keywords: Public School, Private School, Teaching, English Language, Childhood.

Teaching In Higher Education

Teaching English in higher education entails additional factors and considerations that exemplify the complexity of accounting for the diverse population in modern higher education institutions. In particular, the increasing flow of international students and the employment demands of functioning in multicultural contexts render helping students to develop a critical understating of intercultural relations an important aspect of English language teaching. With the increasing adoption of English as a medium of instruction and its use as a lingua franca in intercultural communication, it is important to structure English education in a way that accounts for intercultural relations both in and outside the university. In addition to the postmodern conceptualizations of interculturality that emphasize the fluidity of culture, language and identity intercultural relations are characterized by power imbalances. That is why this chapter makes a case for the necessity of considering sociopolitical realities in intercultural English language teaching in higher education.

There is no doubt that the teaching method has a significant effect on the student`s outcome and the responsibility for choosing the right method falls on the teacher. With experience, the teacher will be able to decide which method will fit the student’s needs. This research examines the most popular teaching methods and materials for teaching the English language in Saudi public schools, particularly in the upper elementary grades. It also aims to explore the perceptions of English language teachers of the methods and materials they consider to be the most effective in the teaching of lower elementary grades in Saudi public schools, who will be exposed to the English language for the first time. The sample of the study comprised 44 English teachers in Saudi public schools. The findings show that the majority of the English language teachers use Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) either alone or with other teaching methods. Moreover, most of them are willing to use it with the low grades of elementary. The findings also show that the most used materials in the classroom are videos, pictures, audiovisuals and the least used are written texts. These were the same materials that the teachers would like to use (with the same order of preference) for teaching the lower elementary grades. The findings have implications for current English language teachers who are willing to change their way of teaching and future teachers who would benefit from being aware of the effective methods of teaching the elementary grades in particular.

Critical Reflections

AbstractThis study of 30 primary teachers of English in Germany used questionnaires to explore their critical reflections on coursebook usage in classrooms. The research questions were: What are primary school teachers’ perceptions of English language teaching materials? What materials are used by primary school English language teachers? What are their reasons for using certain materials? What characteristics define good language teaching materials for primary school English teachers? The participants mostly prefer implementing their own self-designed materials in combination with coursebooks. Given that preparing personal primary school teaching materials is quite time-consuming, the teachers’ arguments for their choice should be explored further to optimize English language teaching. Some argued that self-designed materials are more adjustable to the needs of their students and more authentic. The paper proposes some strategies for striking a balance between teaching English with and without a coursebook, such as making coursebook learning activities more interactive and raising awareness of effective coursebook selection. Different stakeholders can thus collect useful ideas for improvement, including teacher trainers, teachers, student teachers, school administrators, and publishers.
