use of dictionaries. As weknow that the learning about the uses of different affixes - prefixes andsuffixes - can help elementary students in the difficult task of translating orunderstanding English texts in the beginning of their learning, it is ourobjective selecting and increasing students consciousness about some prefixesand suffixes, that they commonly use without paying much attention to theircorrect application, when learning English. In this workshop we intend todevelop the following steps: firstly we are going to select the most usedaffixes. Secondly we are going to divide some words into categories todemonstrate the ways a word turns into a verb, a noun or an adjective throughthe use of affixes, reaching the point where students will realize how easy thelearning of English becomes when we apply some techniques smartly.

Ana Emilia Fajardo Turbin- UFT Porto Nacional Theplenary talk will focus on the importance of speaking and listening skills inthe process of teaching the English language. It is very common to talk topeople who want to study English and they make it clear they want to haveconversations in the Foreign language. Even teachers from state andmunicipal schools, when asked why they want to study English, answerthat the reason is to speak betterEnglish. It seems that the spokendiscourse when the teacher is talking to their students needs to be enhanced,and this should be a continued process for English teachers. It is importantfor the teachers to learn techniques that make the class meaningful andenjoyable for the students to develop their speaking and listening skills. The plenary will focus on a fewtechniques in order to accomplish the objective of making teachersand students talk more in the English classes. 10:00 11:30- WORKSHOPSWorkshop 1- Daniella Corciolli - UFT Porto Nacional TO Title ofpresentation: The post method era: developing theteachers sense of plausibility through the practice of reflection.Summaryof presentation: This workshop aims at leadingEnglish language teachers to know and think about different conceptionsconcerning the most important methods and approaches used in language teachingcontexts. Based on the work of Prabhu (1990), we are going to promote teachersreflections about the roles and goals of different methods and about their ownroles as teachers, building or raising a sense of involvement that will leadthem to feel more conscious, responsible and autonomous about their work.According to Rocha (2008), teachers need to develop and operate their workconsidering their own understanding of what is adequate and possible to theirstudents, school or community. As we know, being able to formulate or choose aset of practices that best match students needs is not easy without a deepknowledge of cultural, social and contextual factors. Such as important asfavoring teachers development of personal conceptualization about theirteaching, it is crucial to make them reflect about what different approachesand methods can offer or contribute to their work and, of course, about therole of reflection itself.
