The centerpiece of this work covers the method conception analysis of five Teacher Coordinators of English courses in five private language institutes of a city in São Paulo State. Based on the theory about method already established by Anthony (1963), this study examines the method conception of these participants, once, in the context of the language institutes, these professionals represent the ideology of the institution where they work and, therefore, are responsible for conducting training courses for all teachers in order to prepare these professionals for teaching classes based on the method used by the institute. Furthermore, it is possible to investigate the extent to which the terms approach, method and technique are used as synonymous or with a different meaning from that established by Anthony (1963).
