Resumo

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo qualitativo criado para estudar as necessidades de capacitação dos professores de inglês como língua estrangeira. As técnicas empregada na coleta de dados incluem grupos focais, um questionário e entrevistas em profundidade. O resultados sugerem que muitos desses docentes não podem se beneficiar das opções profissionais propostas pelas instituições de educação superior e que oportunidades menos formais e estruturadas como congressos da área e conversas das casas editoriais são vistas por muitos deles como os agentes reais no comando de sua educação. Discutem-se as implicações dessas crenças para a profissionalização dos docentes.
