| Summary: | Abstract This research aimed to determine the influence of language teacher educators’ identity as readers on the construction of student-teachers identity as readers. Taking an ethnographic approach, researchers applied six semi-structured interviews to gather the data for this study; three of them were for teacher educators, and the other three were for student-teachers. To analyze the data, the following categories were used: (1) reading as a transformative skill, (2) reading’s personal and social dimension, (3) teachers as an essential key to having success in promoting reading habits. The findings showed that reading brings many positive contributions to teachers and students because through this tool people can expand their knowledge, learn a second language in a more holistic way, better perceive their environment, and share their ideas. However, in terms of strategies, teachers must look for ways to promote reading not as a mandatory but as a purposeful activity. |
