This research study investigates the oral linguistic input provided by Brazilian teachers in classes of English as foreign language (EFL) for children of an average age of eight years old, that is, children coursing the second year of primary school in three contexts: regular public school, regular private school and language school. The nature of this research is qualitative with an ethnographic approach, using the following instruments to gather data: notes and field diaries, interviews, audio recordings and transcriptions of classes taught in the three contexts mentioned above, and didactic materials analysis. The investigation is based on the input hypothesis suggested by Krashen (1987) and on the input-interaction-production (IIP) model elaborated by Gass (1997), Long (1996) and Skeham (1998). Studies concerning teacher education and the competences required to teach foreign language for children (SANTOS, 2009, 2010, 2013; CONSOLO, 1996, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011; among others), teacher talk (MACHADO, 1992; CONSOLO, 1996; ARAÚJO, 2009; CUNHA; MANESCHY, 2011; among others); the role of vocabulary in classes of FL(C) (NATION, 1990; CAMERON, 2001.; ZILLES, 2001; among others); the importance of speaking in the teaching of FL(C) (CAMERON, 2001, 2003; CONSOLO, 1996); and teaching and learning approaches (HOLLIDAY, 1994; SANTOS, 2009, 2010; SILVESTRE, 2007; among others) also contribute to the research. The results obtained suggested that the construction of speaking in classes and, consequently, the offering of oral linguistic input happened via a mirroring of the language samples provided by the materials that oriented the traditionally structured classes. The referred offering was given by means of facilitating and facilitated talk and by the use of frequent repetitions. The samples were composed of vocabulary representative of low sophistication, low variety, low complexity and, consequently, high density, being offered in extreme ...
