TEACHERS AND STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS ABOUT PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGIES IN THE ENGLISH CLASSES

This study analyzed the perceptions about the strategies applied in 8th and 9th grades at a private high school during the first semester of 2019. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview and a survey. The findings show that the school uses a guide book as the main academic material; however, students and teachers would like to use other materials that foster communication. The research evidences the importance of listening to teachers and students in order to find out aspects that help to improve EFL teaching and learning.
