Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the teaching of English in Brazilian high schools through the analysis of students' learning experiences. Participants in the research were 51 students and data were gathered through a written questionnaire and oral interviews. Results suggest that teachers use a traditional approach of teaching, based on translating and memorizing lists of words.
