Learning another language and knowing how to read in a foreign language has become a demand and a need for individuals and societies nowadays. Therefore, in this work, we have studied some aspects of the work around reading skills in Spanish classes of Brazilian schools. By interviewing Spanish teachers from public and private schools, language studies centers (CEL, in Portuguese), and vocational education schools, we sought to identify the professionals‟ representations of what reading means as a social practice, as well as a specific skill in foreign languages classes. In order to do so, we have elaborated a written questionnaire with 30 discursive and multiple-choice questions, answered by 24 teachers. After that, we have selected 5 of those people and performed a face to face, individual interview, having as guide a semi-structured script, made of 14 discursive questions. From the data collected on both the questionnaire and the interviews, we have analyzed certain discourses about the book and the reading practices that circle in our society, and are shared, legitimated and assumed by Spanish language teachers, who are always individuals coexisting socially, economically and culturally. We understand the manifested discourses as guides of the teaching activities developed in Spanish classes, and those discourses may determine the conceptions the teachers and theirs pupils have about being readers of a foreign language. The theoretical background for this research comes from the French Discourse Analysis, more specifically from certain ideas conceived by Michel Foucault, about enunciation, discourse, discursive formation and archive, as well as studies about literacy in languages teaching and learning. We have also relied on studies from the cultural history of the book and the practice of reading, working with the concepts of representation, appropriation, and circulation. That way, we could analyze the representations those teachers claim to have about what is reading, how they enunciate themselves and their students as being readers, how they promote that practice during classes, and what are their expectations concerning teaching. We have concluded that, although the teachers have a good formation and great self-critical sense, there is a series of historical, cultural, social, and discursive coercions that limit and control their practices. It may lead, sometimes, to the reproduction teaching manners that are far from being liberator, and it reinforces the current social conditions around reading practices, which are, as we know, discriminatory.
