FL teaching; English teachers; Federal Institute; Discursive Representations.
This research reflects on the representations that are constructed in the speeches of teachers from a Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology (FI) about learning a foreign language (FL) in professional education, specially, the English language (EL). Considering the imaginary produced around the teaching of English in a FI, I analyze the effects of meaning that are mobilized in the teaching-learning process of the FL through the conditions of production of the discourse by the teachers from federal institute and the positions they assume as EL teachers and learners of a FL. For this, I work with theoretical and analytical concepts of the Materialist Theory of Discourse, created by Michel Pêcheux and developed, in Brazil, by Eni Orlandi, also considering the interface that the theory establishes with Lacanian Psychoanalysis. So I intend to interpret the meanings produced in the teacher's discourse about FL, his/her learning process, his/her pedagogical practice and (his) sayings about the practice. Thus, we seek to investigate, interpret and analyze the discursive representations that arise in the subjectivation process of FL teachers, in order to capture moments of identification (Nasio, 1995; Neves, 2002; Coracini, 2003, 2007). This research is of a qualitative-interpretative nature and its corpus was formed through testimonials from teachers about teaching practice and learning LI. To capture the images built around FL, we used, as analysis categories, the discursive resonances (Serrani-Infanti, [1998] 2007), inter and intradiscourse, discursive formation (Pêcheux & Fuchs, 1997) and the said and not-said (Orlandi, 2005). These discussions about the analyzed corpus are based mainly on studies by Coracini (1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2007), Loures (2007, 2011, 2014), Neves (2002, 2006, 2008, 2009), Lacan ( 1958, 1960, 1966) and Pêcheux (1988, 1997), Orlandi (1996, 1999, 2001, 2012, 2021), among others.
