| Résumé: | In this paper we propose to discuss the issue of subjectivity versus objectivity in the teaching practice of foreign language, especially English, in Brazil. Starting from the short story "The Parrot and Descartes" by Pauline Melville, we argue that Cartesianism has influenced a view on education which tends to consider good and valuable what is "scientific", "objective" and "universal". The subjective and the local seem to be considered undesirable and unreliable. Brazilian scholars on the education field, such as Coracini and Souza are important support for our argument. |
