TRAMALLINO, Carolina Paola  and  ALVES, Antonia Nilda. AN OVERVIEW OF EDUCATIONAL POLICIES REGARDING THE TEACHING OF SPANISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN BRAZIL. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.79, pp.150-163.  Epub Nov 17, 2022. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n79a08.

The link between the teaching of foreign languages and educational policies in Brazilian schools is shown. First, the language policies in Brazil applied in education were reviewed, especially in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language after the passage of 11.161/05 Act. An inquiry about the positioning of other foreign languages over Spanish was also done, given the need for a lingua franca and regional integration as a matter of glottopolitics. Finally, an educational experience of integrated courses at the Federal Institute of Maranhão was examined, recognizing the political dimension in language.

Keywords : glottopolitics; teaching; Spanish; foreign language; Brazil.
