  • Description: The role of pre-service English Language Teacher Education is crucial to help the new generation of English teachers bridge the gap between theoretical discussions in the field of ELF and classroom practice. With this in mind, the aim of this paper is to present some findings from two ongoing PhD research studies on ELF awareness in teacher education. The investigations were carried out in two different public universities in the state of Bahia, Brazil. They both aim at identifying the way future English teachers perceive the teaching of English under an ELF perspective. The literature used to support and direct both studies is based on works of researchers affiliated with recent ELF studies, such as Sifakis et al. (2018); Bayyurt and Sifakis (2015, 2017), Gimenez et al. (2015a, 2015b, 2018), among others. One investigation is action research and the other one is an ethnographic study. Data came from both micro-teaching conducted by participants with their peers and presentation of teaching sequences in which they had the opportunity to integrate their evolving understanding of ELF and its implications into practical teaching activities. The way the student teachers translated ELF theories into teaching steps suggested signs of critical reorientation of their beliefs toward ELT and English use, demonstrating that they are open to integrate ELF into their future experiences both in the classroom and in real-life contexts.
