Synopsis – [The Past Revisited: Trajectories and Questions about English Language Teaching].

This book brings together two works developed as part of the Postgraduate and Specialized Teacher Training Course conducted in 1998/1999. In the first, Ana Bela Mata analyzes the evolution of English programs between 1947 and 1973, in the context of the social and political changes that occurred during those two and a half decades. In the second, Natália Saldanha conducts a detailed critical analysis of the 1994 program and the 1995 Guidelines. The book is a fundamental work for understanding current debates and controversies about English language teaching in secondary education.
