The contemporary world has globalization as one of its main challenging mottos. In Higher Education, these movements occur more rapidly and, in Basic Education, not so much. This qualitative and documentary study performs a reflective analysis to establish conceptual frameworks for Internationalization in Basic Education in Brazil. The results indicate that Internationalization in Brazilian Basic Education is present, whether in a standardized way or not, and it also occurs silently, embedded in the dynamics of the school territory. The conceptual frameworks were constructed from the interrelationship between Internationalization in Basic Education and Education for Global Citizenship, reflections on the preservation of national identity and interculturality, and manifestations of Internationalization in Brazilian Basic Education.

Keywords : basic education; interculturality; global citizenship; silent internationalization; conceptual frameworks.
