The belief that students don’t learn English effectively in public schools can have a great impact on the
emotions, beliefs, and professional identity of Brazilian English teachers. This belief may stem from a
variety of factors, such as limited resources, large class sizes, and inadequate language proficiency among
students. As a result, teachers may experience a range of emotions, including frustration, disappointment,
and a sense of helplessness in their efforts to facilitate language learning in such environments. Emotions
influence beliefs and vice-versa. Understanding this relationship is necessary to offer a more supportive
environment to help teachers to re-signify their beliefs and emotions. Numerous studies have shown that
emotions are also interconnected with various other concepts, including identities and motivations.
