[en] Much has been said about teaching adolescents and how challenging it might be: several are the questions it poses and many are the difficulties to be overcome. This study deals with my experience as a teacher at a language institute in Rio de Janeiro and my challenge: teaching an advanced group of learners. What should have started as a great experience proved to be otherwise: students were not interested and frequently had issues not only with their peers, but also with lessons as a whole. Intrigued by such scenario, I decided to investigate and go deeper to unveil what was happening, therefore this study will focus on the importance of beliefs (Barcelos, 2006) and affect (Arnold, 2009) while teaching a second language and how both play a central role in our classroom. This research will also make use of Exploratory Practice as part of its theoretical framework in order to make it clear why it was decided to carry out the investigation in the classroom and not outside.
