RESUMO

The main purpose of this study is to reveal the points of view of teachers of a foreign language about reading and the relationship with the development of this activity in the class. The procedures and techniques of Q-Methodology were used with the teachers from different contexts, are they the public school, the private school, the idioms school and the teachers of English for Specific Purposes. At first, individual interviews were made with the teachers to get the statements for the Q-sample. Then, 52 participants took part in the Qsorting step, which was followed by the factor analysis of the Q-sorts. Factor analysis showed six resulting factors, A, B, C, D,E, F each one representing a different viewpoint shared between the subjects loaded on each factor. The participants loaded on A consider the reading and the reading class linked to the culture of other people. The respondents who share the point of view represented on B give importance to the reading act as a dynamic act, without interruptions, as look in the dictionary, for them the vocabulary inferences are primordial. The teaches whose share the same point of view on factor C, comprehend reading as a fundamental tool in the learning process, the difference among this factor is that they want to created a perfect environment inside the classroom to contribute to the reading. The teachers on factor D share the idea of reading as a silent process; this view is the opposite that teachers from factor E believe, because they prefer reading aloud all the time. Finally, teachers on factor F would like to make the moment as pleasure moment, however, differently from the teachers on factor C, they want the students look forward this pleasure alone, without depending on the environment in the class
