ABSTRACT: This article addresses the challenges faced in teaching and learning English in the final years of elementary education in rural schools in the municipality of Cametá, Pará. The research is motivated by the author’s experience in the classroom, where the lack of student interest in the subject and the difficulties faced by teachers are observed. Through a qualitative approach and case study, the research aims to understand the teaching practices of teachers, identify barriers to English language teaching, and suggest strategies for improving education in this rural context. The study also discusses the importance of contextualizing English teaching in the specificities of rural schools, promoting meaningful learning, and connecting students to global cultures. The expected results aim to contribute to teacher training and improve pedagogical practices in rural schools. Keywords: English Language Teaching, Rural Education, Elementary Pedagogical Practices.
