The three passages below are part of the paper “Elite bilingual education in Brazil: an applied linguist’s perspective. Read them and answer question


LIBERALI, Fernanda; MEGALE, Antonieta. Elite bilingual education in Brazil: an applied linguist’s perspective. Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal, 2016, v.18, 95-108. 
Although there are no official numbers due to this lack of regulation, it is possible to picture the expansion of bilingual schools based on research data and publishing houses. There are also few projects in public schools. This expansion may be understood once the teaching of English in Brazil has become a booming business and the belief that this language is essential to a successful life is transmitted by the media (Rajagopalan, 2005). It is necessary that (…) researchers problematize and propose reflections on people’s rights and duties involving their participation in the economic, social, and political life of the communities which they are part of and which they may join. For this to be accomplished, there must be a conscientious multilingual education and not just teaching by means of a practice called “elite bilingual education” reinforcing its “elite” nature. (…) We observed that although heteroglossic views of language have been an important notion discussed at universities in order to rethink the teaching of language and the type of bilingual education provided in Brazil, these discussions do not reach the schools which continue to adopt monolingual views of language in their practices and policies.

Based on the excerpt above, which difficulties persist in the development of bilingual education in Brazil?

The three passages below are part of the paper “Elite bilingual education in Brazil: an applied linguist’s perspective. Read them and answer question


LIBERALI, Fernanda; MEGALE, Antonieta. Elite bilingual education in Brazil: an applied linguist’s perspective. Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal, 2016, v.18, 95-108. 
(…) In some cases, the interest in a prestigious bilingualism arose from a desire by some countries to benefit economically, politically, and culturally from the straightforward participation in the global network that has been built through the use of English (Gardner, 2012). On the other hand, it is also accomplished as an answer to world multilingualism, generating the possibility of participation in intercultural actions in different languages and different cultural experiences (García & Flores, 2012). Therefore, this means the creation of a kind of education that, in a significant way, not only includes apprentices but also opens space for them to act and participate through various language practices (García & Flores, 2012). With the learning experience within a bilingual education context, students may increase their cultural awareness both in the culture(s) of origin, and in the culture of the additional language, have a different way of looking at things, build tolerance towards linguistic and cultural groups, value human diversity, and constitute themselves with hybrid identities (Canclini, 2011).
Read the excerpt above and decide if the information below is True (T) or False (F). Then choose the correct alternative below.

I. Some countries’ interest in English is mostly connected to political, cultural, and economic benefits as an attempt to be part of a larger international network.

II. The use of English worldwide is described as one of the strongest tools for the manipulation of soft power that has been developed through bilingual education in Brazil by the elite and against minorities.

III. Students’ agency, empowerment, and interculturality are some of the possible outcomes of bilingual education.

IV. Bilingual education is presented as strengthening students’ original cultural identity, even shielding students from letting in any changes or hybrid influences from Englishspeaking countries.

LIBERALI, Fernanda; MEGALE, Antonieta. Elite bilingual education in Brazil: an applied linguist’s perspective. Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal, 2016, v.18, 95-108. 
Brazil has always been a multilingual country, although throughout its history it has systematically tried to get rid of its linguistic and cultural diversity or veil it. However, for the last two decades alone, we have witnessed an ideological change that acknowledges and stimulates Brazilian plurilingualism. In this scenario, Liberali and Megale (2011) point out that there are four Brazilian bilingual education proposals: bilingual education with sign language, indigenous bilingual education, bilingual education in multilingual contexts, and elite or prestigious bilingual education whose name was given due to the favorable financial conditions of students who can attend these schools, in them instruction occurs in two languages simultaneously, most commonly English ad Portuguese.
