The objective of this research is to reveal the perceptions of English teachers from the Municipal Education System of Sao Paulo on the absence of a curriculum for Ciclo de Alfabetização [Literacy Cycle] and to investigate what would guide the practice of these teachers in the absence of such curricular standards. This is a case study within a qualitative-interpretive paradigm (TRIVIÑOS, 1987; RIZZINI et al 1999; YIN, 2001; LIER, 2005; CHIZZOTI 2006) and was carried out with ten English teachers who teach in the Literacy Cycle (1st to 3rd year) of the Municipal Education System of Sao Paulo. For data collection, a professional profile questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were chosen. Data were analyzed through the Content Analysis theory (BARDIN, 1977). The theoretical basis was constructed from the studies of Rocha (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010a, 2010b, 2012) about the absence of curriculum in Brazilian primary schools and Silva (2014), Sacristán (1989, 2000, 2013), Imbérnon (2013), Contreras (2002), among others, on curricular issues. It was also sought in Scott and Ytreberg (1990), Halliwell (1992), Phillips (1993), Moon (2000), Cameron (2001) and Pinter (2017) the premises that outline the teaching of English for young learners. Vygotsky (1984/2007) and Moyles (2002) bring the constructs that underlie the role of playing in the teaching of English for young learners. Finally, in order to ratify the need for a training that promotes the reflective practice of English teachers from Literacy Cycle, the ideas of Freire (1996/2011a; 1983/2011b), Celani (2004, 2008, 2010, 2016), Contreras (2002) and Nóvoa (1992) were chosen. The results indicate the need to establish an English curriculum for the Literacy Cycle. In addition, teachers seem to conceive the term curriculum in different ways particularly as a list of prescriptions and content. The results also point out that teachers seem to be trying to fill in the gaps left by their initial training through lifelong training once the absence of curriculum makes their work harder, they are solitary and have to base their decisions on previous experiences. Results also show that due to the absence of a curriculum relevant pedagogical activities are not always ratified, especially the playful ones. Data also indicate that in the absence of a curriculum, the practice of these teachers is guided by their training, the experiences lived during their career/with other teachers, their beliefs and conceptions about English teaching and by the readings and studies on their own account
