This research is aim at understanding to what extent the teaching staff identity of Portuguese teachers from a state public school, in the city of Campo Alegre - AL, interferes with the practices of (multi)literacy developed by these teachers in their classes and add (or not) to the construction of critical literacy. To this end the theoretical assumption of the Critical Discourse Analysis - CDA Faircloughiana was used, which comprehends the identity as a social construction, conditioned by the relation of power and hegemony. In terms of the multiliteracy notion, we take as a basis the discussions of Rojo (2012), whom the multiliteracies contribute to the transgression and subversion of the relations of power that are generally established by the hegemonic society, to enable the student to a critical stance and to aim the construction of a transforming practice. Therefore, with a qualitative, ethnographic-discursive approach (MAGALHÃES, 2000), from a historical-social order (FREITAS, 2003), is searched, by the questionnaire application, semi-structured and class observations, to map the identities that are being constructed discursively by the teachers around themselves while Portuguese teachers; to identify the discourses about (multi)literacy that basis the teaching practice from the teachers who participated in the research and to reflect in what extend the reading and writing practice developed in the classes contribute for the critical literacy from the students. In the research completion, it is expected to emphasize that the critical discourse analysis, through critical literacy, assumed as reading and writing practice directed by the power relation and ideological discourses, can exhibit these situations and establish a discoursive changing as new configurations of social practices.
