SUMMARY:

This research, situated in the Applied Linguistics field, aims to grasp the way in which the experience of black English school teachers affects the view and praxis of a white English university teacher in Salvador. In order to do so, four specific objectives have been set: (1) to identify the participants’ understanding of ethnic-racial relations and how this impacts on their pedagogical practice; (2) to investigate whether the colonialities of power, knowledge, being and language pervade participants’ experience, and if so, how this happens; (3) to examine whether the participants have resistance strategies to the abovementioned colonialities, and, if positive, what these strategies are, how they are engaged, and what their outcomes are; lastly, (4) to understand how similarities and differences across participants’ experience occur and what subsequent effects on their personal, academic and professional lives are. Theoretical foundations include decolonial thinking, epistemologies of the South, whiteness studies, Critical Applied Lingusitcs and critical literacies. The research involves 05 (five) black English school teachers and 01 (one) white English university teacher, this researcher. Data collection and analysis follow principles of qualitative interpretive research with traces of narrative inquiry (BRUNER, 2002) and autoethnography (ERIKSON, 2010). Instruments consist of a form, an individual and a group interview, autobiographical narratives, a questionnaire and a reflective diary. Results intend to increase the visibility of black English teachers’ epistemologies, practices and resistance strategies, to foster the debate about whiteness/racism, to strengthen antiracist language education with a decolonial potential in (English) language university courses.
