This research aimed at investigating the representations of English teachers of the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) on ESP teaching-learning and the specific objectives were to investigate their representations on the roles of the teacher and the student in this situation. This work bases its concept of representations on Celani and Magalhães (2002); Minayo (1995) and Moscovici (2003). It is also founded on the principles of ESP Approach (Celani, 2005; Celani et al., 1988; Dudley-Evans and St. John, 1998; Holmes, 1982; Hutchinson and Waters, 1987; Ramos, 2005; 2008; 2009; Robinson, 1991) and ESP teacher development (Celani, 1998; Celani et al., 1988; Ramos, 2005 and Robinson, 1991). This case study is based on Johnson (1992) and Stake (1998) and makes use of two questionnaires as data collection research tools. The results indicated, in answer to the search question, that there are representations, among other myths, that ESP teaching-learning means reading teaching-learning. It was also evident that the deconstruction of this myth, as others, is a matter of teacher education. Based on these results, it was concluded, firstly, that courses with emphasis on this area should be promoted to professionals who wish to work and/or to those who already work with ESP. It was also concluded that it is important to carry out a needs analysis in the graduation courses at UFAM, with the objective of investigating its students needs to study English nowadays. Moreover, one can suggest the creation of a subject on the undergraduation courses in Arts at UFAM, which aims at offering teacher development for professionals who want to work with language for specific purposes
