Resumo

Reading is an inter-active ability made up of essential elements involving the meaning of a text, enabling the readers to develop their mental faculties by working on their expectations, predictions, adjustments and negotiations. As a result, it provides personal and professional improvement to any academic purpose. The “English for Specific Purposes” is a methodological approach widespread in most universities and technical schools all over the country. This approach is specially committed to the development of foreign language reading skills. Its main purpose is to facilitate students’ reading process in second language. Due to the relevance of English as a second language and the increasing need of expanding the reading performance in different areas of study, this article is focused on the importance and contributions of reading strategies for an effective learning. It presents a brief overview of some cognitive aspects of reading, discussing the teachers’ role while planning and managing their reading classes. It also comes up with some relevant elements and pre-reading strategies that can be very effective to the development of students’ reading process to an autonomous and successful language learning.
