Abstract

Based on qualitative interpretive research and action research approaches, and in the light of situated learning theory, in this paper, by means of a report, we analyze how PROEX funded by the Brazilian Federal Agency for Post-graduate Education (CAPES) promotes teacher development for higher education. Data for this study was generated during four months in the English internship course in the undergraduate language teaching degree in a federal university located in the South of Brazil. The corpus of this work is composed of field diaries generated from post-observation feedback meetings of the classes carried out among the supervisor professor, the graduate student and the trainees. The results show that, in this context, the practices experienced by one of the authors contributed to the professional development to teach in higher education, the participation of the postgraduate student increased in complexity and engagement and the student moved from peripheral participant to full participant.
