Resumo

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o grau de preparação dos professores de inglês em formação num programa de formação de professores da Universidade Nacional das Fiji para ensinar inglês como segunda língua (ESL) a alunos de ESL das Fiji. Este estudo de métodos mistos envolveu a recolha de dados de vinte e dois estudantes inscritos num curso de línguas obrigatório durante o terceiro ano de licenciatura. Os resultados indicam a importância de os professores de inglês maximizarem a escolaridade formal dos alunos e a sua exposição à língua materna (L1) para criarem um ambiente de aprendizagem cativante. O estudo também concluiu que o reforço da consciência cultural dos professores em formação melhorou a sua preparação para ensinar inglês a estudantes fijianos de ESL. Este estudo realça a importância de um apoio abrangente nos programas de formação de professores antes da entrada em serviço, incluindo programas de orientação, experiências práticas de ensino, mecanismos de feedback, oportunidades de autorreflexão e de reflexão entre pares, integração da tecnologia no ensino e melhoria da comunicação eficaz e das estratégias de ensino. Estas conclusões podem potencialmente orientar as decisões políticas e as recomendações relativas aos programas de formação de professores e ao desenvolvimento curricular no ensino secundário. Este estudo sugere que se ofereça formação e apoio através de seminários de desenvolvimento profissional para promover salas de aula inclusivas e culturalmente receptivas.
