Políticas Linguísticas:o ensino de línguas estrangeiras em escolas públicas do estado do Amazonas

Abstract

This work aims at understanding how the Linguistic Policy proposed for the state system of the state of Amazonas is shaped and how it is carried out in reality in public schools in the capital city. We start with the presentation of conceptual terms Policy and Planning and with the new configuration of society geared by globalization. We go through the history of the Teaching of Foreign Languages in Brazil and the elements that make up the interpretive schema within the Amazon Rainforest with regard to aspects related to the formation of the Amazonian social thinking and the de/construction of the identity of a people. We analyzed official state documents which deal with laws and proposals for teaching of MFL. We finally presented a comparison between what the laws say and the reality of public schools in the state system of the capital city. The research is based on the theoretical assumptions of Discourse Analysis.
