Teacher education, Remote learning, Human relations.

Abstract

This experience report derives from a professor teaching in an English Language Education undergraduate course in a State University in the South of Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The narrative focuses on human relations and the ethical responsibility towards two groups taught. The report discusses the encounters (in synchronous classes via Google meet) with pre-service teachers by means of voices from the Philosophy (LARGE, 2015; LÉVINAS [1988] 2020), the Education (TODD, 2003; 2015), and the Applied Linguistics (BEIJAARD; MEIJER; VERLOOP, 2004) fields. Some of the examples provided also support the viewpoint of professional identity as being a process, instead of a product. In sum, the narrative provides insights related to Teacher Education, human relations, and professional identity.
