This paper critically addresses aspects related to the teaching of the English language in specialized texts in the scope of English for Specific Purposes. It problematizes this approach within the context of language courses – focusing on the reading competence – EAP modality (STREVENS, 1977; HYLAND, 2006). It establishes theoretical convergences with the fields of Translation and Terminology. The perspective adopted aims to contribute to the development of the agents involved and to the improvement of pedagogical practice, broadening new paths and theoretical-methodological possibilities. The motivation for this study emerges from the growing and expressive pursuit of reading competence enhancement in texts with scientific content in foreign languages by professionals and academics from different domains. This demand is characterized by well-defined professional targets associated to mechanisms of acceleration of results stemming from the exogenous pressure for qualification. It is intended to describe the peculiarities of the teaching context where these reflections emerge from and connect them to some methodological procedures employed in solving textual exploratory difficulties supported by translation strategies and terminological knowledge.References
