Abstract

This paper aims at describing how the epistemological paradigms are involved in language teaching educational practices. It is a bibliographic study as it brings a literature review regarding the aprioristic, empiristic, and interactions epistemological paradigms, learning theories originated from them and their influence in language teaching and learning. It is assumed that a great number of teachers is not aware of which epistemology(ies) is/are implied in their teaching activities and it is reckoned that making those paradigms clear might contribute to the development of critical thinking towards teaching in order for the educational activities to be planned and supported by consist theoretical foundation.
