%X this mixed-interdisciplinary study was conducted in four state schools in medellin-colombia with the participation of 12 teachers and 111 students from 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. data gathering techniques used were a semi structured interview administered to the 12 teachers and a battery of six psycholinguistic tests administered to the students. this paper addresses qualitative data from the interview and discusses, from a reflective and interpretative perspective, linguistic and pedagogical factors that affect the english teaching and learning processes for a 12-primary-teacher group. these factors emerged essential for the establishment of pedagogical relationships amongst teachers, students and the english language; likewise, the necessity of informed and continuous teacher professional development programmes as part of linguistic policies becomes manifest.
