This research aimed to identify the teacher knowledge evidenced in the texts/discourses produced by three English teachers from language courses in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, given the lack of mandatory specific initial training to act in this context. This study finds its theoretical support in the proposals of the Socio-Discursive Interactionism (BRONCKART, 1999; 2006; 2008), whose central thesis considers language as having the key role for the mediation between individual actions and collective activities that promote the human development and functioning, challenging thereby the division of Human/Social Sciences and defining it as a chain of the Human Science. Therefore, an interaction of man, language and worlds is proposed, based on the notions of represented worlds by Habermas (2010), the constitutive elements of work (AMIGUES, 2004) and teacher knowledge presented by Tardif (2013). The collection and provision of data of this qualitative and interpretative research were carried out through two methodological tools – a questionnaire and a set of pre-task and post-task interviews. The data analysis was performed with the used of the textual architecture (MACHADO and BRONCKART, 2009) and three of its categories: the thematic content, modalizations and person rates. The results indicate the (re)configuration of the teachers’ practices and the (re)normatization, especially the methodological requirements, were influenced mainly by personal knowledge, knowledge coming from their working experience and formal training. These evidences were identified by the most reoccurring presence of deontic and pragmatic markers throughout texts/discourses of the participating teachers. In this manner, we find that the collective and individual representations that are presented in the teachers’ texts are mainly related to academic formation and the methodological nature of the language schools. The mismatch between university and labor market is another issue that we identified as a factor that influences the (trans)formation of teacher knowledge into an ongoing process of professional development.
