Resumo

This study has as its focus the beliefs which affect both FL teachers and students in regard to error correction. Its main objective was to infer and analyze beliefs related to error correction held by two public school teachers of English in a town next to Goiânia, the capital of the State of Goiás. The investigation also tried to establish relations between the teachers’ beliefs and the beliefs of some of their pupils. Adopting a qualitative perspective in the data collection and analysis, this case study was conducted in the second semester of 2003. The data were collected by means of questionnaires, interviews, field notes, class observations and video-recordings, which were analyzed in the light of studies on beliefs related to the teaching-learning process by Horwitz (1985, 1988, 1999), Pajares (1992), Johnson (1994, 1999), Barcelos (1995, 1999, 2004a, 2004b), among others, and investigations on error and correction by Schulz (1996), Figueiredo (1997, 2005), Lee (2003), among others. Amongst the conclusions we arrived at, we observed that the teachers’ prior experiences as FL students influence their daily classroom practice, as well as the ways they deal with the issue concerning error correction. Such beliefs are shared by some of the pupils, but conflict with the ones held by others. The results highlight the importance of offering opportunities for teachers to get to know, reflect, argue and question their beliefs in general, and not only about error and correction.
