Abstract

 

This paper presents a research conducted at Application School (CAP/COLUNI), Federal University of Viçosa, in which we aimed at analyzing students’ view concerning the English language teaching received at public and private elementary schools from 2000 to 2003.

The sample was of 153 students from 1st grade High School. As the fundament for this research, we used studies regarding teaching formation in the field of Applied Linguistics. Data collection was done through interview and questionnaire and were analyzed qualitative and quantitatively. The results showed that the English Language teaching received by the sample during the period mentioned above was inefficient. According to the students, the factors which caused this inefficiency were teachers’ pedagogical practices, teachers’ profile and formation, lack of study habit, the necessity of greater interdisciplinary ethics by school community, and the myth - it´s only possible to learn English at language courses.
