Read the text below:
“With the promulgation of the bill 746/2016, converted into law in 2017, that reforms education in Brazil, English was made the only mandatory foreign language in schools, thus threatening the teaching/learning of other foreign languages such as Spanish, French, and Italian. […] Yet, the educational reforms and internationalization agendas are far from reaching consensus among linguists and higher education stakeholders when it comes to the use, teaching and learning of languages for internationalization purposes.”
Considering the need for a critical and sustainable internationalization agenda, which of the following is the most critical implication of making English the sole mandatory foreign language?
- It ensures that the Intercomprehension Approach (IA) becomes the primary methodology for teaching English in Higher Education.
- It restricts the use of technological tools like the CLIL approach, which are necessary for developing communicative skills in English.
- It guarantees that students will achieve native-like fluency in English, optimizing professional communication globally.
- It reinforces linguistic and epistemic hegemony, potentially undermining cultural tolerance and the critical reflection necessary for a truly multilateral internationalization.
- It supports a multilingual policy by ensuring equal resources for all 216 languages in Brazil's educational system.

Comentário do professor
Hegemonia linguística e epistêmica ocorrem quando uma única língua e seus modos de produzir conhecimento passam a dominar educação, pesquisa e políticas. Tornar o English a única língua estrangeira obrigatória concentra práticas, publicações e redes acadêmicas em um único referencial cultural.
Isso reduz a diversidade de perspectivas, marginaliza saberes locais e limita a capacidade de diálogo intercultural. Sem contato sistemático com outras línguas e tradições intelectuais, enfraquece-se a reflexão crítica sobre assimetrias de poder e se empobrece a formação cidadã.
Portanto, a medida compromete uma internacionalização multilateral e sustentável, que depende de pluralidade linguística, reciprocidade e tolerância cultural.
