Looking through the socio-cultural-historical window, this paper aims at investigating an ELT subproject from Universidade Estadual de Londrina inserted into a governmental program, in order to understand the collaboration meaning(s) there expressed. The analysis revels: a) the continuity of models of initial and continuous English teacher education experienced by the Institution and now formalized in the public policy initiative; b) possibilities for strengthening a collaborative culture in teacher education and; c) an answer to demands regarding the need of improvement not only in the ELT courses but also in the basic education curriculum and in the context in which school communities are located. The blurring of the teacher educators' roles taking, as such, for granted and as immutable reveals a complementary collaboration pattern and leads to a reflection regarding the challenges of mutuality in collaborative practices.Downloads
