English Teacher’s Representations of the Comprehensive Training Process: How Do They Describe It?
Abstract
In order to identify perceptions of comprehensive learning held by public elementary school English teachers in Medellín, nineteen teachers with undergraduate or graduate degrees in English participated in a qualitative study, completed a questionnaire, and some took part in an in-depth interview. English teacher perceptions possess both practical and theoretical characteristics and are structured thematically in accordance with student personality, communicative ability, and social and cultural context. This research project allowed the authors to create new concepts of comprehensive learning based on the experiences of English teachers.
