[en] I have noticed that teachers, myself included, tend to complain about coursebooks in the teachers’ room and we sometimes do not stop to think about our role as educators. Exploratory Practice has been developed as an approach to understand language classroom life with the emphasis on understanding rather than problem-solving. The sense of plausibility is related to teachers’ perceptions to the teaching they do and how these perceptions may be influenced by several factors regarding our learning and teaching experiences. By using the Exploratory Practice approach and the concept of sense of plausibility, this monograph aims to at least try to understand what the teachers’ views of themselves are. A PEPA was done in order to analyze how the dialogue between teachers’ senses of plausibility can be a learning opportunity that may lead us to a better professional quality life. Although there was not time enough to investigate teachers’ interaction deeply, it was possible to realize that we teachers usually do not reflect on our roles as educators because we are influenced by mechanical teaching techniques imposed by institutions and our past experiences as learners.
