Study Of a Non-Efl Elementary
Teacher’s Reflections Upon
Her Roles as an English
Teacher*
Abstract: This Case Study was developed through
the testimony of an Elementary teacher who worked
at a Rural school of Paipa, with the “Escuela Nueva”
the roles she performed when teaching English, bea-
ring in mind that she had not been prepared academi-
cally to give any instruction in this foreign language.
that were held in a Study Group composed by this
teacher-participant, four more elementary teachers
working in the same municipality and, me as resear-
cher and member of the group. Three reasons nouris-
hed this research: Teachers in most of the elementary
schools of Paipa were neither prepared for teaching
a foreign language nor they had studied English dee-
ply. Secondly, the teacher development is an impor-
tant issue to improve the teaching of English in any
role of the teachers themselves working collaborati-
vely, through some actions such as a Study Group.
