The main problem of the present investigation is: which methods and techniques are applied to English language teaching and how these methods and techniques are being used within the classroom by teachers who tend to contribute to the formation of students. This research study aimed to carry out a study about the methods of teaching the English language and the changes that occurred over time, in relation to these methods and their applicability in Brazilian schools. The teaching of this language has already gone through different procedures known as traditional, direct, audiolingual and socio-interactionist methods. But even to this day, these methods are still existent in classrooms; even if new methods, new approaches have emerged, but the old techniques have not ceased to exist. Grammar was the traditional method, or method of translation, it was the approach to teaching and learning, it was through this method that literary texts were read and explained from one language to another, as this method was used to assist students in reading and translating texts in a foreign language, however, today, these methods are aimed at communication as can be seen in PCNs-LE (1998), being introduced as a central target in the teaching-learning process. An analysis was also carried out in a chapter of an elementary school English textbook, verifying which of these methods of teaching the English language will be used. For this purpose, bibliographical and exploratory research was carried out, based on several authors, such as Faraco (2007) and Crystal (2005), Izidro (2008) and others alluding to the theme. In addition to the bibliographical research, this research analyzed documents referring to Brazilian legislation and education policy. The present work allowed us to identify a specific area that needs to be further developed with regard to teaching the English language within the classroom and the qualification of professional practice.Acesso AbertoLíngua InglesaMétodoDificuldadesEnsino aprendizagemEnglish languageMethodDifficultiesTeaching learningCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRASTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
