BALADELI, Ana Paula D.; BORSTEL, Clarice Nadir von    FERREIRA, Aparecida de Jesus. Teacher identities and difference in the discourse of pre-service english language teachers. []. , 29, 1, pp.207-227. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.6772.

In this paper we discuss the concepts of teacher identities and difference based on a selection of data collected during a narrative research study. This research was carried out with a group of six pre-service English teachers who integrated the Pibid, a Brazilian program for teacher professionalization. The aim was to identify meanings for the teacher profession in the discourses of these teachers from two public universities in Brazil. The analysis was supported by the theoretical framework of New Literacy Studies and identity studies focused on the influence of the school trajectories on their professional identities. In general terms it was possible to observe the relation between school trajectories and the meanings constructed by the pre-service English teachers about the teacher profession. The discourses exposed that professional identities are being constantly negotiated and that the opportunity to engage pre-service students in a program such as Pibid has allowed the group to reflect about themselves as teachers and about the teacher profession.
