The course ” Estágio Supervisionado em Língua Inglesa como espaço colaborativo de formação inicial e continuada de professor@s- 2022″ was an initiative of UFPR’s “Teachers without Borders” (PsF) university extension project and was implemented in hybrid mode, between September 17 and November 26, 2022, with a 60-hour workload and certification by Proec – UFPR. Its target audience included English Language graduates (from UFPR and other institutions) and English teachers from the public and private schools in the city of Curitiba and the metropolitan region, a total of 25 participants out of 32 initially enrolled. In the teaching practices of the course, the students will act as interns and the teachers as internship supervisors.
The course, already successfully offered in 2019, aimed to provide initial and continuing training for English teachers, through contemporary teaching-learning perspectives, and to establish partnerships between UFPR / Education Sector and language teachers from Basic Education who work in public and private schools for the supervised internship of the Letters course, in a collaborative joint work of teacher training.
For practical activities in schools, written English teachers formed pairs and trios with undergraduates who worked as interns. There was no need to change class schedules at the schools. UFPR students taking English internship courses were able to count practical hours of the course towards their compulsory internship by submitting documentation to the schools.

Based on an activity proposed in the module DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, PROJECTS AND MULTIMODALITY, taught by Prof. Dr. Kátia Mulik, which called for the description of a free digital resource that each participant knew or used and that could be used in the classroom, the collaborative E-portfolio was created by scholarship holder Gabriel Mastromano.
Each participant indicated, in a template suggested by the teacher, the objective of the respective resource, the profile of the students to use it, the material needed and the access link, as well as the justification for choosing such a tool, and a suggested teaching proposal based on critical literacy, with its challenges and potential.
The collaborative portfolio with suggestions for digital resources is a compilation of the activities of the teachers taking part in the course, in digital format, illustrated and with the appropriate authorizations and consent of the authors, who took part in the course. The aim was to share the group’s output digitally and free of charge, and thus help other teachers in the classroom and in their continuing training.
Throughout the training courses offered by the Teachers without Borders project, the aim is to complement and expand the portfolio and, in the future, to publish it officially through a publishing house.
The course, now in its second edition, promotes the formation of a Teacher Training Network through university-school dialog and partnership between supervising teachers and supervisors. The Teacher Training Network created during the course enables supervising teachers or undergraduates to stop looking for schools for supervised internships based on personal criteria, such as the location of the school or referrals from colleagues or teachers. The course encourages members of the Network to be collaborating supervisors who are selected and willing to receive trainees and who have the same theoretical and practical basis on teaching and learning languages from contemporary critical perspectives.
As Walesko and Hibarino (2020) point out in their article The construction of a collaborative language teacher training network, available at: https://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/34632/29499:
“Through collaborative practices such as co-teaching and coaching, the discourses on what, how and for whom to teach have been and can be reframed in the relationship between trainees and teachers/supervisors.” The authors, who had the course (in its 2019 edition) as a research context for the publication of the article, also reinforce “the role of the teachers/supervisors as co-trainers, alongside the supervising teachers of the undergraduate courses in Letters, in more horizontal relationships in the teaching practices in their classes, which end up becoming, for these teachers, spaces for continuing education.”









This workshop aimed to promote a space for exchanging knowledge andpractices between teachers, professionals, graduate students and teaching studentsSecondary students included in Basic Education, raising reflections related to teachingof English in this context.
