The aim of this work was to investigate the treatment given to reading in classes of English as a foreign language at colleges in Maceió, especially in two courses of the tertiary sector of economy Systems Analysis Courses and Executive Secretariat Course. The relevance of the work is related to the importance of reading in English as a necessary activity to the academic and professional literacy. From this research it was possible to observe reading conceptions and its status in force nowadays in the institutions studied. In order to investigate that issue, the methodology used was based on the observations of classes in four colleges in which the discipline Inglês Instrumental (English for Specific Purposes) is taught. Thus, this work can be considered as being a qualitative research, of an ethnographic kind. Besides classroom observations, field note taking, informal interviews and questionnaires for both students and teachers were also used. The theoretical background was based on the studies of the history of reading, the socio-cognitive and discoursive aspects of reading strategies, foreign language teaching approaches and principles of English for Specific Purposes. One of the results obtained indicated that, in a general way, the teachers observed included some of the English for Specific Purposes assumptions in their classes in spite of demonstrating strong influences of the traditional features of language teaching. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o tratamento dado à leitura em aulas de Inglês como língua estrangeira em faculdades de Maceió, especificamente em cursos do setor terciário da economia Análise de Sistemas e Secretariado Executivo. A relevância do trabalho está relacionada à importância da leitura em inglês como uma atividade necessária aos letramentos acadêmico e profissional. A partir desta pesquisa foi possível observar as concepções e seu status em vigor nos dias atuais nas instituições estudadas. Para tal investigação, a metodologia usada foi baseada em observações de aulas em quatro faculdades em que a disciplina Inglês Instrumental é ensinada. Dessa forma, a pesquisa pode ser considerada como qualitativa, de cunho etnográfico. Além das observações em sala de aula, registros, entrevistas informais e questionários escritos para ambos alunos e professores também foram usados. O referencial teórico foi baseado em estudos sobre a história da leitura, os aspectos sociocognitivos e discursivos envolvidos nas estratégias de leitura; abordagens do ensino de línguas estrangeiras e nos princípios do ensino de inglês para fins específicos. Um dos resultados obtidos indicou que, de modo geral, os professores observados utilizam alguns princípios de inglês instrumental em suas aulas, apesar de demonstrarem fortes influências de aspectos tradicionais de ensino de línguas.

O corpus foi constituído por cinco obras do autor, dentre elas: „Maneco Caneco Chapéu de Funil‟ (1980), „Panela de arroz‟ (1980) e „Bule de café‟ (1982), que formam a coleção „Maneco Caneco Chapéu de Funil‟, além de „Os pregadores do Rei João‟ (1985); „Ficar Junto‟ (1992) e um relato coletado informalmente que se constituiu como documento para a pesquisa. Algumas questões norteadoras da pesquisa foram: Como a concepção de criança e sua formação como leitor mirim influenciam no momento da criação das obras na visão de um escritor-ilustrador? Da mesma maneira como a visão de arte, literatura e leitura interferem nesse processo. Se trata de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com contribuições teóricas advindas dos estudos de alguns conceitos bakhtinianos e vigotskinianos. Autores como Bajard (2007); Hunt (2010); dentre outros, foram colaboradores na compreensão da leitura, literatura e suas representações em determinado tempo e espaço, assim como, Zilberman, Lajolo (2007), sobre o processo histórico da leitura e da literatura. Solé (1998); Girotto e Souza (2010), por sua vez foram essenciais acerca do Ensino das Estratégias de Leitura. Notamos como resultado que é as estratégias de leitura precisam estar presentes no trabalho do professor, para que as crianças vejam sentido em ler e sim, a formação e a concepção de leitor mirim influenciam a criação de livros literários pelos autores. / It is a master's research, whose objective was to analyze reading strategies for the formation of children in elementary school, based on the analysis of books by author-illustrator Luís Camargo. The corpus consisted of five works by the author, among them: 'Maneco Caneco Chapéu de Funil' (1980), 'Panela de arroz' (1980) and 'Bule de café' (1982), which form the collection 'Maneco Caneco Chapéu de Funil', in addition to' Os Pregadores do Rei João'(1985); 'Ficar Junto' (1992) and an informally collected report that was constituted as a document for the research. Some guiding questions of the research were: How does the conception of a child and its formation as a young reader influence the creation of the works in the vision of a writer-illustrator? In the same way the vision of art, literature and reading interfere in this process. It is a bibliographical and documentary research, with theoretical contributions coming from the studies of some Bakhtinian and Vigotskinian concepts. Authors such as Bajard (2007); Hunt (2010); among others, were collaborators in the understanding of reading, literature and their representations in a certain time and space, as well as, Zilberman, Lajolo (2007), on the historical process of reading and literature. Solé (1998); Girotto and Souza (2010), in turn were essential about Teaching Strategies of Reading. We note as a result that reading strategies need to be present in the teacher's work, so that children see meaning in reading and yes, the formation and the conception of young reader influence the creation of literary books by authors.

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vad svensklärare på gymnasiet har för uppfattning till läsförståelseundervisning, samt hur de arbetar och vad de använder för metoder och strategier för att främja läsmotivation och läsförståelse. Undersökningen genomfördes via kvalitativ metod, där sex svensklärare intervjuades. Resultatet visar att samtliga svensklärare upplever att det är viktigt att arbeta främjande med läsförståelse på gymnasiet. Somliga anser att man bör fokusera på att bibehålla läsmotivation i läsförståelseundervisningen. Det förekommer olika metoder för hur lärarna arbetar med läsförståelse i undervisningen, men samtliga arbetar mycket med textläsning i undervisningen. Flertalet av lärarna anser också att det är viktigt att gå igenom lässtrategier med eleverna innan läsning, för att eleverna ska kunna förstå det lästa. Även efterföljande diskussioner och samtal om böcker och texterna var något som delgavs vid intervjuerna. / The purpose of this study is to investigate Swedish teachers understanding of comprehension education and use of methods and strategies to promote reading motivation and reading comprehension in upper secondary school.  The survey was conducted through qualitative methodology, in which six Swedish teachers were interviewed. The results show mainly that all teachers feel that it is important to work for promoting reading comprehension at upper secondary school. Some argue for focusing on maintaining reading motivation in reading comprehension education. There are different methods regarding reading comprehension in teaching. The informers work a lot with text reading in the classroom. The majority of teachers also consider it important to review reading strategies with the students before reading, so that students better can understand the reading. Even subsequent discussions and conversations about books and texts were something that was announced at the interviews.

In this study was sought to 1) to verify the connection between the education condition offered in a tutoring focused in the book reading and education conditions associated to reading skills and writing improvements; 2)evaluate the tutoring effects on reading and writing skills on students whit low achievement in early literacy from data on performance throughout the tutoring sessions and the performance presented on evaluated tasks by specific assessment tools applied at the beginning, intermediate and final stage of the intervention; 3) describing the progress of reading strategies used by students. The participants were four students in the same second grade class of public elementary school, they were selected due to the low reading and writing achievements. During 17 weeks in a semester, the students attended 3 tutoring weekly sessions around 30 minutes each. In each session the interaction between the tutor and the student was directed in order to make possible for the students to have the commitment in a book presentation which isn´t still familiar made by the tutor, independent reading made by the student of a familiar book and a non familiar one, the involvement in activities for the recognition of letters, syllables and words, speaking and writing sentences and stories, decomposition and recomposition of sentences and stories. The results allow us to conclude the teaching conditions offered responded satisfactorily to the guidelines predict by the experts and professionals who work with tutoring focused in reading. Is was verified the tutor had a previous training to conduct the reading and writing activities in the tutoring sessions. Performing as a supporter in a students learning, encourage the student´s strengths in terms of reading and writing for each student, and systematically made adjustments that me the specific difficulties of each student, helped the students to read accurately through the use of suitable books to the level of difficulty of each student. Regarding to the effects on the students, the results indicate a substantial increase in the percentage correct reading of words and texts, writing dictated words and in the use of appropriate reading strategies such as self-correction and search for meaning. The teacher´s report about the students achievement in the classroom indicate a recognition of the reading an writing students improvement due to the support provide by tutoring. / Os estudos têm identificado um conjunto de condições de ensino associadas à efetividade da tutoria centrada na leitura de livros para a prevenção do fracasso em leitura e escrita como uma modalidade de ensino de apoio ao ensino regular. Neste estudo pretende-se: 1) verificar a consonância entre as condições de ensino oferecidas em uma intervenção de tutoria centrada na leitura de livros e as condições de ensino da tutoria associadas ao favorecimento do aprimoramento das habilidades de leitura e escrita e das estratégias de leitura ; 2) avaliar os efeitos da tutoria sobre as habilidades de leitura e escrita de alunos com baixo aproveitamento na fase inicial da alfabetização a partir de dados sobre o desempenho ao longo dos encontros de tutoria e do desempenho apresentado nas tarefas avaliadas por instrumentos de avaliação específicos aplicados antes, na fase intermediária e na fase final da intervenção; 3) descrever a evolução das estratégias de leitura usadas pelos alunos. Os participantes foram quatro alunos de uma mesma turma de segunda série do ensino fundamental pública, sendo selecionados devido ao baixo aproveitamento em leitura e escrita. Durante quatro meses de um mesmo semestre letivo, os alunos participaram de três encontros de tutoria semanais com duração de trinta minutos. Em cada encontro a interação entre o tutor e o aluno foi dirigida para possibilitar que ocorressem o engajamento do aluno na apresentação de um livro ainda não familiar feita pelo tutor, leitura independente feita pelo aluno de um livro familiar e de um livro não familiar, o envolvimento em atividades de reconhecimento de letras, sílabas e palavras, de produção oral e escrita de frases e histórias, de decomposição e recomposição de palavras, frases e histórias. Os resultados permitem concluir que as condições de ensino oferecidas atenderam de forma satisfatória às orientações previstas pelos estudiosos e profissionais que trabalham com a tutoria centrada na leitura de livros. O tutora teve uma capacitação previa para a condução das atividades de leitura e escrita previstas nos encontros de tutoria, atuou como apoiador da aprendizagem dos alunos, estimulou o uso dos pontos fortes em termos de leitura e escrita de cada aluno e sistematicamente fez adaptações que atendessem às dificuldades específicas de cada aluno, favoreceu a leitura acurada dos alunos por meio da utilização de livros adequados ao grau de dificuldade de cada aluno. Em relação aos efeitos sobre os alunos, os resultados indicam um aumento substancial das porcentagens de acertos nas leituras de palavras e textos, escrita de palavras ditadas e no uso de estratégias de leitura adequadas tais como auto-correção e busca de significado. Os relatos do professor da classe referentes ao aproveitamento dos alunos na sala de aula indicam um reconhecimento do aprimoramento da leitura e escrita dos alunos atribuído ao apoio fornecido pela tutoria.

Considering the proposed activities of reading in the light of the PCNS and scholars dealing with on the topic. The high school is due this is a basic education level that presents great difficulties to ensure of skills necessary for reading, as observations made using the assessment tools as the ENEM and SAEB. So for work use the following official documents: National Curriculum Parameters (2000), PCN (2002),reorientation Curriculum (2010), in addition to the following, which deal with the theorical issue on the agenda: Solé (1998), Braggio (1992), Lajolo (1994), Antunes (2003) and Kleiman (1997). Reading postulated in the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) constitutes an extremely important the guidelines directed for teaching learning of reading process, as it establishes guidelines guiding. The teaching of reading, under the perspective from the development of reading comprehension, the student becomes proficient in other disciplines. Opted for the methodology qualitative and descriptive in nature as approach and as an instrument of research including the use semi-structured questionnaire as grant for data. As support for data collection and implemented activities through image readings (as appendix A), raise hypotheses,debates last written activity contemplating the impressions of the students on the topic presented text O BICHO Manuel Bandeira,Solé based on reading strategies(1998) developed and applied to the students based on reading strategies Solé(1998), from the accomplished results that encouraging readingFrom the study results suggest that encouraging reading as proposed was productive and from the use of reading strategies becomes inviting and pleasant. Therefore to form the reader with competence reader is necessary a constant practice of reading starting from a systematized and organized around the range of texts so with this work intend to offer information that could contribute to an improvement the teaching practice and teaching in the public school. / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo a investigação da compreensão leitora dos alunos de uma turma do 2° Ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da rede oficial de ensino do estado de Pernambuco, considerando as atividades propostas de leitura, à luz dos PCNS e estudiosos que tratam sobre o tema. A opção pelo Ensino Médio deve-se ao fato de se tratar de um nível da educação básica que apresenta grandes dificuldades para assegurar o domínio de habilidades necessárias para a leitura. Sendo assim, para a fundamentação do trabalho, utilizamo-nos dos seguintes documentos oficiais: Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (2000), PCN (2002), Reorientação Curricular (2010), além dos seguintes teóricos que tratam da questão em pauta que é a leitura vista como interação entre leitor, texto e autor, neste contexto temos: Solé (1998), Lajolo (1994), Antunes (2003) e Kleiman (1997). A leitura postulada nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) constitui uma base de extrema importância nas orientações voltadas para o ensino-aprendizagem do processo de leitura, uma vez que estabelece diretrizes que orientam o ensino de leitura. Sob essa ótica, a partir do desenvolvimento da compreensão leitora, o aluno tornar-se proficiente nas demais disciplinas. Na metodologia optamos pela abordagem qualitativa de natureza descritiva. Como instrumento de pesquisa utilizamos o questionário semiestruturado como subsídio para a coleta de dados, e atividades desenvolvidas e aplicadas através de leituras de imagens (conforme anexo A), levantamento de hipóteses, debates, por último uma atividade escrita que contemplasse as impressões dos alunos sobre a temática apresentada do texto o bicho de Manuel Bandeira baseadas nas estratégias de leitura de Solé (1998). Desenvolvidas e aplicadas junto aos alunos baseadas nas estratégias de leitura de Solé (1998). A partir do estudo realizado, os resultados apontam que o incentivo à leitura, nos moldes propostos, foi produtivo e a partir do uso das estratégias de leitura torna-se convidativo e prazeroso, sendo assim para formar o leitor com competência leitora é necessário uma prática constante de leitura, partindo de um trabalho sistematizado e organizado em torno da diversidade de textos. Assim com este trabalho pretendo oferecer informações que possam contribuir para uma melhora da prática docente e da qualidade de ensino na escola pública.

This study concerns choices of texts and reading comprehension strategies in teaching. The purpose of the study is to investigate if and how teachers' perceptions of pupils' reading habits are consistent with the pupils' own beliefs. The purpose is also to investigate if there are any differences in reading habits between pupils with Swedish as their first language and pupils with Swedish as a second language and if this is considered when teachers choose texts and/or work with reading comprehension strategies in teaching. The study is based on qualitative interviews with three active teachers, two of whom are class teachers and one who teaches in Swedish as a second language. The interviews aim at gaining knowledge about how teachers choose texts in teaching, what they base these choices on and how they work with reading strategies. The study is complemented by a student survey to map students' reading habits at home and at school. The questionnaire aims at gaining knowledge from students to see whether teachers 'perceptions about student reading habits are in line with the students' own beliefs. According to my results teachers' perceptions about student reading habits do not always match the perception of the students themselves. Based on the results of this study there are no significant differences made between first and second language students when it comes to choosing texts in the teaching, either based on the reading habits of the students or teachers 'perceptions of students' reading habits. Nor are there any significant differences made in the teaching of reading strategies. On the other hand, teachers make certain adjustments in teaching to give all students the same conditions. / Denna studie berör lärares val av texter samt arbete med läsförståelsestrategier i undervisningen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur lärares föreställningar om elevers läsvanor stämmer överens med elevernas egna uppfattningar, om det går att uttyda några skillnader i läsvanor hos elever med svenska som modersmål respektive elever med svenska som andraspråk samt om lärare tar hänsyn till skillnader i läsvanor vid val av texter samt arbetet med läsförståelsestrategier i undervisningen. Studien bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med tre verksamma lärare varav två är klasslärare och en undervisar i svenska som andraspråk. Intervjuerna syftar till att få kunskaper om hur lärarna väljer texter i undervisningen och vad de baserar dessa val på samt hur de arbetar med undervisning av lässtrategier. Studien kompletteras med en elevenkät för att kartlägga elevers läsvanor hemma och i skolan. Enkäten syftar till att få kunskap om hur lärarnas föreställningar om elevers läsvanor stämmer överens med elevernas egna föreställningar. Mina resultat visar att lärares uppfattningar om elevers läsvanor inte alltid stämmer helt överens med den uppfattning eleverna själva har. Utifrån studiens resultat går det inte att uttyda att några betydande skillnader mellan första- och andraspråkselever görs när det kommer till val av texter i undervisningen varken utifrån elevers läsvanor eller utifrån lärares föreställningar om elevers läsvanor. Inga betydande skillnader görs heller vid undervisning av lässtrategier. Däremot gör lärarna vissa anpassningar i undervisningen för att alla elever ska ges liknande förutsättningar.

The aim of the study was to demonstrate that the reading strategies can be applied even for the preschool children. These strategies help children to understand the text read out aloud. In the theoretical part I am devoted to define the concept of pre-reading literacy, its connection with critical thinking and introducing the program Reading and Writing for Critical Thinking. I also clarified the relationship between reading skills and reading strategies, approached selected reading strategies and possible methods for their development. In conclusion of the theoretical part I outlined some of the strategies that might be suitable for working with preschool children. In the practical part I focused on the acquisition of individual strategies for preschool children, for the exact strategies: connecting (text to self, text to text, text to world), visualizing, predicting, reasoning, summarizing and questioning. Each of them I presented on concrete examples. I also proposed an integrated project involving work with these strategies, which I realized and then analysed. Based on the results of research, I have concluded that preschool children can work very well with these strategies, while indicating that these significantly contribute to the comprehension of the text of preschool children.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka vilka strategier och metoder forskningen förespråkar för undervisningen i läsförståelse för att främja elevers utveckling. Vilka undervisningsmodeller förespråkar forskningen i undervisningen av läsförståelse? Resultatet i denna litteraturstudie visar att lä rares kunskap ä r en viktig faktor i undervisnigen fö r att eleverna ska nå framgång i sin läsförståelse. Resultatet visar också att det finns flera olika metoder och strategier som lärare kan använda sig av i sin undervisning för att skapa en utvecklande miljö som ger positiva effekter på elevernas läsförståelse. Forskare förespråkar den dialogiska undervisningen där läsförståelsestrategier och interaktion står i centrum.

Denna studie handlar om lässtrategier och modeller för läsförståelseundervisning. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilken modell eller vilka modeller lärare använder sig av i sin undervisning för att utveckla elevers läsförståelse samt hur lässtrategier integreras i dessa modeller. Studien redogör för olika modeller som har utvecklats ur olika teorier samt vilka som huvudsakligen tas i anspråk i undervisning på lågstadiet och varför. Studien bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med tre verksamma lärare från två skilda skolor som aktivt undervisar i ämnet svenska på lågstadiet. Intervjuerna syftar till att få kunskaper om hur lärarna arbetar med läsundervisning utifrån deras uppfattningar av modellerna Läslyftet och En läsande klass. Vad som framkommit av mina resultat är att lärarnas arbetssätt är likvärdigt. Lärarna växlar mellan läromedel samt olika modeller i syftet att individanpassa undervisningen. Gemensamt för lärarnas läsförståelseundervisning är även att den karaktäriseras av textsamtal i olika former. / This study centers on reading strategies and models for teaching reading comprehension. The aim is to explore what model or models teachers use in their teaching to develop students' reading comprehension as well as how reading strategies are integrated into these models. The study describes various models that have been developed from different theories as well as which models are used mainly for teaching primary school and why. The study is based on qualitative interviews with three teachers from two different schools, who teach the Swedish language at primary school. The interviews have been aimed at gaining knowledge of how teachers work with reading instruction based on their perceptions of Läslyftet and En läsande klass. What has come to light from my results is that the teachers' work methods are equivalent. The teachers switch between educational supplies as well as different models to vary the teaching. Common to the teachers' reading comprehension teaching is that it is characterized by conversations and discussions about text.

Flera internationella kunskapsmätningar i följd har visat på att svenska elevers läsförståelse av faktatexter har blivit sämre. Debattörer och forskare har skapat en debatt om hur undervisningen bör gå till för att förändra den nedåtgående trenden. Även i skolans styrdokument kan debatten skönjas och lgr11 framhåller att samtliga lärare ska arbeta språkutvecklande oavsett ämne för att stödja elevers läsförståelse. Jag har av den anledningen undersökt hur lärare stöttar elevers förståelse av faktatexter i årskurs 4-6 vilket jag har gjort med kvalitativa forskningsmetoder. Jag har intervjuat fem lärare som undervisar i svenska och minst ett av orienteringsämnena där eleverna möter faktatexter naturligt. För att stärka resultatets validitet och reliabilitet har jag observerat samtliga lärares undervisning vid behandlandet av en faktatext. Observationerna ägde rum vid två SO- och två NO-lektioner samt vid en lektion i svenska. Jag har kommit fram till att informanternas undervisning inte lämnar eleverna ensamma med faktatexter då de bearbetas tillsammans i klassrummet och olika lässtrategier används i undervisningen. Dock modellerar lärarna inte. Lärarna påtalar heller inte för eleverna att de i undervisningen använder sig av strategier för att skapa sig förståelse samt att det är strategier som eleverna själva kan använda sig av när de läser på egen hand. Därmed har jag kommit fram till att mina informanter inte aktivt stöttar elevers läsförståelse av faktatexter. / Several international knowledge measurements in succession have shown that Swedish students' reading comprehension of factual texts has become worse. Debaters and researchers have created a debate on how education should be done to change the downward trend. Even in the school's governing documents, the debate can be considered and lgr11 emphasizes that all teachers should work on language development regardless of subject to support students' reading comprehension. For this reason, I have investigated how teachers support students' understanding of factual texts in grades 4-6, which I have done with qualitative research methods. I have interviewed five teachers who teach Swedish and at least one of the science topics where students meet factual texts naturally. In order to strengthen the validity and reliability of the results, I have observed all teachers' teaching in the processing of a factual text. The observations took place at two social science and two natural science lessons and at a lesson in Swedish. I have come to the conclusion that the education of the informants does not leave the students alone with factual texts when they are processed together in the classroom and different reading strategies are used in the teaching. However, the teachers do not model or argue to the students that in the teaching they use strategies to create understanding of the content and that there are strategies that the students themselves can use when reading on their own. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that my informants do not actively support students' reading comprehension of factual texts.
