This article aims at reflecting and problematizing the existing reality of English Language teaching for kids in Brazil. The scenario, in which this context is developed, has taken researchers to promote discussion regarding the silencing of the teaching and learning of English Language in the early years, as well as, the teacher education from this stage of the elementary school, which regards especial attention. The methodology used is of qualitative nature, anchored in the autobiographic method and the studies with narratives. The data was produced from interviews conducted with three teachers who participated in the educational actions in collaborative study groups of English, developed in the master program in the context of researches with pedagogic teachers who did not have education to teach English Language while undergraduates in the referred licentiate. The selected narrative excerpts were those, which emphasized the teachers’ educational fragilities that impair their practices. The data was collected by means of narratives presented in the interviews and analyzed by thematic units named as axis. The results indicate that there still are questions about the teaching of English Language for kids, concerning the teacher education and the formulation of public policies aimed at the teaching of foreign language. Therefore, we interpret that the theme deserves more attention and we suggest that collaborative work between teachers from both the Language and Pedagogy field can provide continuing teacher education proposals which help in the sense of mitigating the anguish from the teachers in relation to their professionalism about the teaching of English Language for kids, since their educational knowledge is not enough to consolidate teaching.
