From a sociointeractional perspective of discourse, this research aims at investigating
the written narrative of a student of English and Portuguese Teaching Practicum from
a Letters undergraduate Course at UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), in
which she displays some of her remarkable experiences in the supervised
apprenticeship at school. Through an analysis that considers the production of
narrative as a discursive, dialogical and ideological process, this research may help us
understand some of the experiences described in light of expectations and frustrations
of the student in the supervised practicum course. It can also help us reflect upon
strategies that can contribute to the education of future language teachers for acting in
different areas of teaching and learning. This research points to the need for a
dialogical construction of knowledge, for the development of bridges between the
university and the school in order to cater for the open dialogue with all subjects
involved in the teacher training process.

Keywords: Foreign Language Teaching Course, Teacher Education, Education,
Narrative Studies, Discourse Analysis.
