In this paper, we present the status quo and challenges regarding the use of additional languages as a medium of instruction in Brazilian higher education. ________ contextualizing the importance of the process of internationalization at home (IaH) and additional languages in higher education. ______, the teaching of additional languages in Brazil, _______ has been until very recently relegated to the private sector and accessible only to an elite, is introduced. We then provide an overview of the present state of affairs of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in the country, which is still in its infancy. _______ to describe different ways in which language and content can be integrated in higher education, as well as how EMI can be introduced in disciplinary courses. __________ that EMI can maximize the learning of academic English by Brazilian students and content instructors, as well as encourage a more international higher education and balanced academic mobility by allowing foreign students to study in Brazil while preserving and even increasing the international interest in the Portuguese language. In a country located in the periphery of knowledge production and dissemination, we understand that the adoption of EMI can potentially foster the inclusion of more Brazilians in the global academic and research scenario. It gives them access to the knowledge produced internationally and, at the same time, enables the research produced in the country to be disseminated globally.
