The main objective of this work is to generate understandings about the role(s) played by the emotion(s) - or, more precisely, by emotional experiences - in the process of teaching/learning English, taking the discursive construction of these affective experiences grounded on the interactional practice as an analytical platform. To support this investigation, in this research, a theoretical dialogue between Discursive Psychology (WETHERELL, 1998), Sociohistorical Psychology (VYGOTSKY, 1994; AVERILL, 1985) and Applied Linguistics (MOITA LOPES, 2006) is crafted. As a tool for analysis of the corpus here investigated, the theoretical and analytical framework of the Systemic-Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY, 1994), in dialogue with the Appraisal System (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005), is articulated with the structural narrative model (LABOV, 1972). Regarding its theoretical and methodological aspects, this research is grounded on a (inter-)subjectivist and dialogical view of the process of knowledge construction, theoretically systematized in the Qualitative Epistemology (GONZÁLEZ-REY, 1997). Three semi-structured interviews have been conducted, having as a thematic axis the participants experiences with the English language. Analyses of data suggest that, as well as the interrelationship between affect and experience preconized by Vygotsky (2001), the evaluative aspects of the discursive fragments guide the process of the discursive construction of the emotional experiences, setting the basis for the construction of the highlighted narratives.
