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.
