Undergraduate courses in Letters, train the undergraduate to enter the job market, especially as
a language teacher. The time to act in the profession is of different possibilities. This study aims
to analyze how the theory is being applied in the teaching practice of English language teachers
in public educational institutions in the state of Tocantins. In particular, it seeks to analyze how
English language classes are being used in the seventh period of a class in the Letters course.
In addition, to investigate whether such theories have contributed to the construction of
knowledge in investigated public schools. We tried to answer the question: how to develop the
practice in school efficiently and relate the studies done during the four years at the university?
As a methodology, it was intended to use qualitative research with descriptive bias. The
application of questionnaires was also used with teacher educator, students of the seventh period
and leading teachers to understand the relationship between the theory and the practice of the
people involved in the research. The research is based on authors such as Vygotsky (2000),
Pimenta (2005), Tardif (1999), among others. As a result of the research, it was intended, in the
light of scientific research, to verify how the training of English language teachers has related
theoretical and academic knowledge with the reality experienced in school performance.
Understand the real reasons for the differences between what is learned in the university and
what is applied in schools. Subsequently, contribute to making the relationship between theory
and practice viable in meaningful teaching for teachers and students.
