This work aims to address the graduation of English Language Teacher at Graduation Course in Language, whether the teaching of culture is present in the process of language teaching. We attempt to evaluate how effectively the Graduation Course in Language prepare its students, future teachers, to achieve the proposals devised by the National Curriculum Guidelines, for High School Foreign Language Teachers . The purpose of this research is to understand whether the Language Courses prepare effectively their students, future teachers, to achieve the goals envisioned by the OCN. The National Curriculum Guidelines contemplate the foreign languages teaching through contextualized socio-cultural approach in order to promote the development of social consciousness, creativity, open mind to new knowledge, finally, a new way of thinking and understanding the world. For this study we analyzed and established a parallel between the Education Plans of Language Courses of two prestigious universities in the State of São Paulo, a private university and a public university. We investigated the disciplines with a focus on English Language and verified in detail, based on the principle of linguistic and cultural connection, the presence or not of the culture study in language teaching. The results of this qualitative research indicate clear differences between theory and practice, it means, between the goals that the documents of Educational Institutions propose to the Language Courses and what the same documents suggest as practice. It is expected that this study instigates reflection, discussion and future research on the importance of the interconnection between the culture study and language teaching in Language Courses in the process of teachers graduation.
