This paper aims to identify the trajectory of English teacher education in the Arts and Letters courses, and provide an overview of the knowledge produced and put in circulation by teacher educators in Brazil. Based on research paper abstracts submitted to a pioneering event on language teacher education in Latin America, this review analyzes the advances and gaps in this area of research. It firstly summarizes the themes of the studies, from the most to the least recurrent ones. Secondly, it looks at gaps in issues concerning activity and research in teacher education. Thirdly, the paper provides insights into how the members of this community of practice can strengthen their identities as teacher educators and establish a more dialogical and empowering relationship.

This paper aimed to analyze how the extractivist population use and conserve the Hancornia speciosa Gomes remainders in the state of Sergipe (Northeastern Brazil). The research methodology was predominantly qualitative, consisting of the surveying of primary (structured and semi-structured interviews, participative analysis) and secondary data, organized to constitute a general exploration picture, valuing the conservation action plans, use and commercialization of remainder crops. The data was analyzed focusing on the characteristics of the Hancornia speciosa Gomes female collectors already depicted in the literature (Mota e Silva Júnior, 2003; Mota et al., 2003a e b). The genre perspective and the past/present relation were also considered in the analysis. The main conclusions show that they have been able to manage the genetic resources of that species, through a traditional handling perspective that combines action and knowledge (according to the natural resources features, seasons, access to remainders etc.) in a context of increasing valuation of the fruit in both local and regional markets, but also considering the threats (tourism, agriculture and real estate speculation).

The 1960's and 70's represent a period of vast artistic and cultural production in Brazil; however, censorship was the largest dilemma faced by artists, writers and playwrights. In the field of theater, Nelson Rodrigues (1912-1980), Jorge Andrade (1922-1994), and Plínio Marcos (1933-1999) -- each in his own style -- were censored for their productions. This paper presents a study of the play Dois perdidos numa noite suja ("Two Lost Souls On A Dirty Night") (1966), by Plínio Marcos, which deals with the conflicts of minority and marginalized social groups. The countercultural aspect of language and its use as a mask is postulated in this article, reflecting on how its use within Plínio Marcos' dramatic text becomes a tool for the execration of dilemmas and social-historical-cultural conflicts in Brazil (1960-1970). The process of revealing raw language is sustained in the continuous use of slang and swear words, aiming to affect the other or society itself. The analysis of the play is based on and is evidenced from the dramatic text, and not on its staging style or dramatic nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents data from Writing and grammar teaching: a new look at an old problem (State University of Londrina, Brazil), a research project of procedural and ethnographic basis that describes the diagnostic process and discusses a proposal for intervention in the pedagogic approach of teachers in the latter grades of middle school about approaching discursive genre/opinion article. Thus, we approach the diagnosis accomplished in four middle-school grades, in public schools in the cities of Londrina and Maringá, State of Paraná, Brazil. The data analyzed constituted the trigger element of the intervention process: the contextualization of grammar teaching to the practices of reading and writing/rewriting, taking into account the needs and/or difficulties of Portuguese language teachers and the language conception(s) that -- consciously or unconsciously -- they seem to hold.
