English For Life

Abstract

It is vastly known and discussed the importance of English teaching in our country, as well as in any other country in which native language is not English. It is also known that Brazil has had relevant achievements when it comes to English teaching, especially in private language institutions. On the other hand, English language teaching in regular schools (either private or public ones) do not usually receive the right credit for their work. Thinking about that and about how to help regular schools in their approach of English teaching, this work was developed aiming to be useful and accessible for this branch of education. The proposal of it is focused upon the reality of Brazilian students, their culture aspects, their real life situations and the challenges they face every day.
