Class no. 1 - Academic presentations
 In our first lesson, we argued that communication is a comprehensive interchange of meaning between individuals, through symbols. We also saw that communication can be either verbal or non-verbal. Verbal communication is a property which is exclusive to mankind, while non-verbal communication is the sending of messages through facial expressions, gestures and body movements.

Class no. 2 – The Seminar
 In our second class we discussed how powerful a tool the seminar might be in the construction of knowledge and scientific findings. We also saw that it demands discipline, rigor and sistematicity from the student, in order to be a productive academic activity.
 
We argued that the seminar might be presented by a group of people or by one person only and we considered the advantages and disadvantages of each. Let’s remember them.

Class no. 3 – Applied Linguistics
 In our third lesson, you were introduced to an interdisciplinary field of studies called applied linguistics and you learned that despite its name it should not be confused with linguistics. The main difference between them is that linguists are basically concerned with the scientific study of language in general while applied linguists are mainly concerned with the investigation of real-world problems in which language is a central issue.

According to Cook (2010) the main areas of concern for applied linguists are:
language and education;
language, work and law;
language information and effect.

However, the British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL) claims the following areas as their main concern:
language acquisition;
language teaching;
language disabilities;
language varieties;
language in literature;
language policies;
languages in social services;
translation;
interpretation.

 Regarding English language teaching in Brazil, we saw that several applied linguists have been concerned about both teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards this language. While some authors, like Moita Lopes, have criticized those practitioners who totally absorb the foreign language culture, others have been focusing on teachers’ development and reflexive teaching. They defend that the complete formation of a teacher does not happen only during his/her graduation course, but it’s a continuous learning process.

We also talked about CALx – Critical Applied Linguistics, which is a separate development of applied linguistics. It has developed its own autonomous research communities. Critical applied linguists are engaged with social change and In order to accomplish this, these professionals need to incorporate work in critical political theory into applied linguistics.

Class no. 4 – Research – part I 
 In class no.4 we learned that research is a process of inquiry that involves systematic and scientific approach and the application of specialist knowledge and skills. We also that that it consists of three components:
 
a question, problem or hypothesis;
data;
analysis or interpretation of data.

According to Brumfit (2006), serious, competent research that aims at providing better explanation of phenomena must be public, systematic and useful. 
 
We also talked about the two main approaches of conducting research:
Qualitative research – Aims at understanding and interpreting social interactions.
Quantitative research – Aims at testing hypotheses, looking at cause and effect, and making predictions.

 However we argued that even though there are certainly many differences between them, they cannot really be opposed to each other. In fact, depending on the type of research being conducted, they might complement each other.
 
 We also discussed that language teachers might benefit considerably from the research of others. However, it’s possible for them to benefit even more from doing their own research. The main advantage of being a teacher and a researcher is that it allows the practitioner to work more responsibly and professionally.

 Once a teacher decides to start researching his/her own practice in order to better understand the teaching / learning process, there are some practical procedures to be followed when planning, conducting, and evaluating a research project. These are:
developing a research question;
conducting a literature review;
implementing the research project;
presenting the research.

Class no. 5 – Research – part II
In class no. 5 we saw that due to new social demands, teachers have been called upon to reflect on the subject they teach, adapt it and their teaching to their students’ needs, as well as produce knowledge themselves. However, since their primary concern is usually with the action of teaching, they do not usually think of themselves as producers of knowledge. Therefore, they tend to rely solely on the knowledge produced by researchers. 
Nonetheless, the researcher teacher is more likely to accelerate and enhance his/her professional development and make better choices in the future about his/her practice.

Also, when teachers conduct their own research they are able to transform knowledge through action, instead of simply acting on technical knowledge.
 Also, the role of teacher in the classroom has been changing lately from a traditional approach, i.e. teacher-centered, to one that focuses more on what the student is learning, how s/he is doing it and under what conditions, i.e. learner-centered.
 In a student-centered class the students seem to be more involved in the learning process than in the more traditional approach. In fact, a learner-centered class tends to keep students more motivated and interested.
