This study was conducted in a public school in Minas Gerais and aimed to investigate the construction and negotiation of identity of an English teacher in talk in interaction in the classroom. Sharing a sociointeractionist view of language, we believe that participants continuously negotiate what is being said or done, i.e., how they express what they say and how they deal with a given situation. In talk in interaction, teachers and students negotiate not only the senses but also identities, since the participants position themselves, they project to each other images of self (Goffman, 1998). This linguistic-discursive study was theoretical and methodological grounded in the theories of Ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis (ECA), studies of Discursive Psychology, the Interactional Sociolinguistic and Applied Linguistic. We aim to study the construction of the professional identity of an English teacher in talk in interaction in its natural context of production. Therefore, we use as data collection instruments the audio recordings and their transcripts, participant observation, questionnaire in addition to document analysis. The analysis of positions taken by participants and shown by conventions of contextualization has revealed that there is a hierarchical relationship between the teacher and the students researched, in which the teacher assumes a position of authority, since she projects herself into the discourse as participant who owns all the rights of the turn taking and controls students‟ behavior. The positioning analysis also reveals that the teacher searched assumes the discursive identity of counselor, quality controller of the language used in classroom, valuer, planner and friend. The positioning taken by teacher (except for friend positioning) show a construction of an identity strongly influenced by traditional method of teaching (Grammar-Translation Method), in which predominates the teacher-centered teaching with strong classroom control. The results also show the challenges of teaching in a large classroom.
