This work presents an analysis of an opinion article about the challenges of being a teacher in Brazil nowadays. Our methodological approach is the Appraisal System (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005). First, the contextual analysis was conducted, focusing on the register variables (field, tenor and mode). We also focused on how evaluations of attitude, judgement and graduation are made through the lexical choices of the author. Finally, we identified the views regarding teachersconstrued in the text, using resources of attitude (appreciation), judgement of capacity and graduation (intensification and quantification). The results evidenced a text organization focused on questioning, the use of appreciation and social esteem judgement for, respectively, the qualification and evaluation of teachers as well as graduation – intensification to reinforce the opinion of the author.
