RESUMO

This research objectified to investigate, through the analysis of an English teacher s statements and taking into consideration the different discourses which go through and constitute them, how and to what extent the reality of the teacher s practice would be working according to a discoursive perspective, in which language is incomplete. The scenery in which we generated what we needed to do that analysis was a public high school, from São Luís (Maranhão). We emphasize that, besides that objective, we also tried to verify which images of reader would be being done for the students. In order to accomplish those and other objectives, we based our approach on Discourse Analysis. To generate the "data", we used observation, field notes, semi-structured interview, audio recordings of lessons, the teacher s annual plan for the discipline, and a diagnostic which is being done at the school to build their pedagogical political project. Besides that, we present an overview of foreign language teaching in Brazil, and we also discuss some different perspectives for the reading process. The analysis shows that between the exposition to the discoursive perspective on language and the reality of the classroom, the teacher s statement points, in its regularity, to a limitation of meaning production and to a type of selection of interpretation gestures done in the classroom. However, that does not imply an absence of the aforementioned perspective in the teacher s statement. In a certain way, the teacher s statement is in a space that shows a tension between the multiplicity and the singularity (in opposition to plurality), the opacity and the transparence, being the teacher s statement closer to the transparence and the singularity. To finish, it is important to mention that the teacher s statements are produced in a space where there is not debate about them, that is, besides being rare, the pedagogical meetings in the school do not focus on discussions on what is being said to the classroom
