This research aims to present the results of an analysis of a text produced by a higher education teacher where we identify representations built on her/his actually work from the enunciative and semantic levels (Machado & Bronckart 2009______ & BRONCKART, Jean-Paul. 2009. (Re-)Configurações do trabalho do). We adopt the socio-discursive interactionism, which attributes to acting and language a fundamental role in human development, and the Labor Psychology (Clot 2006______. 2006.

In: LIMA, Francisco de Paulo Antunes; RIBEIRO, Rodrigo (org.). Tradução de Guilherme J. F. Teixeira e Marlene M. Z. Vianna. Belo Horizonte: Fabrefactum Editora.) which study working situations. To generate the text under analysis we employed a procedure called instruction to the double with an experienced professor of the language studies field who teaches at a public university. As a result, we identify the difficulties to the performance of some work activities, but also overcoming, showing the real work activity of the teacher.
