PEREIRA, Lauro Sérgio Machado; SANTCLAIR, Dllubia  and  SILVA, Kléber Aparecido da. The internationalization of the curriculum from the perspective of language teachers in Brazil. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.68, e-31792.  Epub Dec 05, 2023. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2023v61n68id31792.

The internationalization of the curriculum aims to incorporate an intercultural and global dimension into teaching activities, contributing to the education of citizens and professionals engaged in the cultural and linguistic diversity of the globalized world. In this paper, we discuss curriculum internationalization, highlighting the reflections of language teachers as agents of the internationalization of education. Subsequently, we analyze qualitative data generated through a structured questionnaire applied to Brazilian language teachers who are members of the Group of Critical and Advanced Studies in Languages (GECAL-UnB), to understand their conceptions about the internationalization of the curriculum. The data analysis, through the lenses of Critical Applied Linguistics, indicated that the internationalization of Brazilian educational institutions is possible through the internationalization of the curriculum, requiring discussions on interculturality, multilingualism, and plurilingualism. Thus, based on the perspectives of teachers, it is possible to envision alternative approaches to the internationalization of education.
