COLLABORATIVE ACTION RESEARCH AND THE IMPACT ON TRAINING TEACHER IN COLLABORATION WITH A TEACHER IN SERVICE

This paper presents partial results of a collaborative action research conducted in a public school in Cruz Alta, Rio Grande do Sul, with a training teacher, a teacher in service and a third year high school class. The collaborative action research, adopted methodology, is considered an alternative way to provide the opportunity for upgrading of in service and in training teachers (Burns 1999). The purpose was to create opportunities for all the participants assimilate a reading in English approach and the language as a sociocultural mediator. From this perspective, reading workshops were developed, whose purpose was to prepare training and in-service teachers for critical-reflexive practice of the classroom, emphasizing the importance of education that addresses cultural aspects of the English language. It was found, once again, that the collaborative work promotes reflection and hence improvements in teaching and learning, which can be significant, considering the lack of actions inspired by research aimed at public English language education in Brazil (CELANI, 2009).

CULTURA Y PROPIEDAD EN EL FIN DE SIGLO LATINOAMERICANO

Com base em um corpus diferenciado– Pepón Osorio, Jorge Luis Borges, a literatura latino-americana atual –, este trabalho analisa as contradições não resolvidas que exibem os objetos estéticos e culturais no seu funcionamento social, nas suas articulações e cruzamentos locais e globais, sem esquecer suas delimitações recíprocas com as relações do poder cultural de dominação e subordinação, desde as variadas esferas públicas em jogo. A partir desta análise, surge uma luta interpretativa entre significados e sentidos vários sobre a estética, o mercado, a história e, além disso, os usos e a propriedade da cultura latino-americana no fim do século XX, sempre depois da construção de um campo político, cuja incidência social não é em absoluto desdenhável.
