English Language Teaching in Brazil: A Gap in Policy,
Problems in Practice
Only three percent of Brazilians are estimated to speak
English despite the status of this language as a
mandatory subject. This fact relates to a gap in foreign
language teaching policy documents: the National
Education Guidelines and Framework Law (LDB), and
the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN). These
documents for many years did not prescribe the
necessary conditions for English Language Teaching
(ELT) to take place effectively, often focusing on
reading due to a lack of resources or large classes.
LDB mandated the teaching of a foreign language
chosen locally from grades 5 to 12. A recent reform in
2017 has added that English will be the foreign
language taught in secondary school (from grade 6 up)
throughout the country. Previous versions of LDB,
however, did not mandate the teaching of English,
leading to the perception that only in private language
centers could students learn the language.
The effectiveness of ELT in basic education remains
low because policies impact the quality of teacher
education, the availability of pedagogical resources,
and the number of students in the classroom. Most
schools are equipped with basic materials like
blackboards and chairs, but few have audiovisual
equipment installed in every classroom. This reality
shows why many teachers stick to the textbook most of
the time.
Many English teachers in Brazil do not speak the
language fluently because most undergraduate
programs offer a dual major (English and Portuguese).
Often, aspiring teachers enroll because they actually
want to teach Portuguese. Consequently, these
teachers reproduce in their classrooms the approaches
in which they were taught as students, focusing on
grammar-translation rather than modern communicative
methods.
Misconceptions about the language also contribute to a
lack of motivation. Some believe English is only from
England or the USA. To correct this, BNCC (National
Common Curriculum Base) suggests an intercultural
approach to make the study of a foreign language more
socially and culturally relevant. BNCC aims to raise
awareness of the global web in which English is
involved, and it is treating it as a tool for citizenship.
