SUMMARY:

Although many times treated as a privilege of the elite and unnecessary to least-favored social classes, the teaching and learning of English Language is a student’s right based on National Curriculum Guidelines in Brazil. This learning process, being part of educational field, is part of a social realm, and can’t be characterized as a commodity. This thesis investigates the discursive constructions on the teaching and learning English in language courses advertisements and in the discourse of students in the end of the last year of high school. The focus in this research is the possible repetitions in both discourses, seeking to approach the representational aspect in the productions analyzed. This research is within the scope of Critical Discourse Analysis, as it focuses on recurrences that promote the reproduction of power, rather than reducing inequalities in learning access. A Systemic Functional approach on language (HALLIDAY, 2004) is adopted, considering the attitudes of high school students about many elements composing this English teaching educational process. The analysis of students’ discourse was made based on the appraisal system by Martin and White (2005). Concerning the analysis of the advertisement in video, Bezerra’s (2012) proposal to the analysis of dynamic image was adopted. The study allowed an investigation of common aspects between students’ discourses and advertisement discourses, leading to the conclusion that both discourses support a representation of English language as a commodity (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001), making it inseparable of consumption relations guided, not by what in fact constributes to the common good, but to what enriches a few through the definition of English teaching as a product necessary for achieving success. Giving primacy to the product, rather than the learning process, such discourses reinforce the understanding of the language as something you can acquire in a market transaction, ignoring the complexity inherent to the English Language learning process.
