Teaching English in the Brazilian countryside 
 
 “In Brazil, countryside youth want to learn about new places, new 
cultures and people. However, they think their everyday lives are an obstacle to 
that, because they imagine that country life has nothing to do with other parts of 
the world”, says Rafael Fonseca. Rafael teaches English in a language school 
in a cooperative coffee cultivation in Paraguaçu. His learners are the children of 
rural workers. 
 Rafael tells us that the objective of the project being developed in the 
cooperative is to give the young people more opportunities of growth in the 
countryside, and that includes the ability to communicate with international 
buyers. In the future, our project may help overcome the lack of succession in 
countryside activities because, nowadays, rural workers’ children become 
lawyers, engineers, teachers, and sometimes even doctors, but those children 
very rarely want to have a profession related to rural work”, says Rafael. 
 “That happens”, he adds, “because their parents understand that life in 
the countryside can be hard work and they do not want to see their children 
running the same type of life that they have. Their children also believe that life 
in the country does not allow them to have contact with other parts of the world, 
meet other people and improve cultural bounds. The program intends to show 
them that by means of a second language they can travel, communicate with 
new people and learn about new cultures as a means of promoting and selling 
what they produce in the country, and that includes receiving visitors in their 
workplace from abroad.” 
 Rafael’s strategy is to contextualize the English language and keep 
learners up-to-date with what happens in the global market. “Integrating 
relevant topics about countryside living can be transformative in the classroom. 
The local regional and cultural aspects are a great source of inspiration and 
learning not only for the young, but for us all.”
