The purpose of this text is to report the process of developing mediation resources for reading practices and discursive analysis for a course on Discourse, taught, in English, to undergraduate student teachers of English and Portuguese at a federal university in Southeastern Brazil. This process was developed based on the Four Resources Model (reader roles) by Luke and Freebody (1990); in the Theory of Register of Systemic-Functional Linguistics, according to Martin and Rose (2007); and in the pedagogical approach of Scaffolding, according to Gibbons (2015) and Hammond (2021). These bases were used as methodological tools for planning and preparing teaching materials for use in the discipline. The result of the experience was the design of a modular course plan in terms of reader roles, the sequencing and didactic transposition of the contents of the program based on aspects of the context of classroom language use, applied for pedagogical purposes.
