The Interactive Hypothesis suggests that communicative interaction relates language input to the learner's learning abilities and output, so learners can change their output given they are provided with comprehensible input. This paper examines the implications and the relevance of interaction within the framework of the Interaction Hypothesis theory in English Foreign Language Teaching and Acquisition in Brazilian schools. The work aims to present theoretical rationales and relate them to classroom practice. The Brazilian foreign language teaching reality is a starting point for possible applications of theoretical rationales related to this theory. A chronological perspective regarding Krashen's Monitor Model and the dichotomous Hypothesis of Acquisition and Learning is drawn. Krashen's five Hypotheses are presented, with emphasis on the Input Hypothesis and the Interaction Hypothesis. The second part refers to a brief analysis of English classes as a foreign language in Brazil. It is suggested how face-to-face interactional processes can occur in the mentioned context between students and teachers. The paper mentions issues related to teachers' attitudes and students' aptitudes, motivation, and special skills concerning the Brazilian language teaching context.

ABSTRACT

This practice is not new and is part of government’s internationalization plans both in old empires and in developing nations. Scholarships are the main instrument to carry out these language policies. These awards are benefits given to students who have the opportunity to strengthen lasting relationships with different countries. Some of these benefits also serve as instruments that enable soft power relations as a state policy that permeates international relations through the use and influence of language. This paper aims to present the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) program and outline how the initiative has contributed to designing a generation of Germans and Americans. The motivation for the work is to understand the role of strategic educational alliances between nations that were once at war. The paper also draws lessons from this attempt at cultural (re)approximation through a mixture of sociolinguistic immersion and diplomacy. These individuals (students-ambassadors)help to re(write) German history, but the issues to be debated relate to practical and valid transformation, management, nation-branding strategies in a highly globalized world.

Speaking was the skill that contributed most to a high FLA level and that approximately one-third of students presented a moderate FLA level. The situations experienced by Confucian Heritage Cultures (CHC) students were chosen as the focus of our research because they have higher FLA rates of all ethnic groups. This work aims to shed light on English Speaking Anxiety and observe the tendencies to enable future research in this field. The research is based on a series of papers collected from journals. The findings are related to the influence of emotional factors that contribute to anxiety in the classroom and to teachers’ attitudes. A high anxiety rate may be related not only to a natural propensity to anxiety, but also to factors related to teachers’ activities and attributes. The studies showed that the tone of voice, gender, and the teacher’s dress code affecte...

O principal objetivo deste trabalho é refletir criticamente sobre as mudanças dos discursos do inglês como língua franca em um contexto de globalização educacional, com ênfase na idealização prestigiosa da persona do falante nativo do inglês, tendo em vista seus elementos simbólicos comercializáveis agregados de mentalidade neoliberal. Uma análise qualitativa foi realizada em dois anúncios de ofertas de ensino de língua inglesa tendo em vista construtos teóricos de escalas, cronotopos, indexicalidade e policentricidade. Os resultados apontam que elementos do discurso do mito do falante nativo estão presentes nos materiais analisados e acabam fomentando diversas tensões entre falantes nativos e falantes não nativos, mesmo com a tendência de descentraliza-ção da legitimidade da língua inglesa e do ensino de língua em um contexto policêntri-co global. A hipervalozação de experiências transnacionais pela elite econômica ali-menta o imaginário da legitimidade do falante nativo, que se reifica como um produto de alto valor e prestígio no mercado. Palavras-chave: Legitimidade linguística. Inglês como Língua Franca. Mercantilização da língua inglesa. ABSTRACT Transnational relations have intensified in the globe, as well as the commoditization of the English language, impacting language teaching globally. The main aim of this work is to critically reflect on the changes in the discourses of English as a Lingua Franca in the context of educational globalization, with an emphasis on the prestigious idealization of the persona of the English native speaker, considering its aggregated marketable symbolic elements of neoliberal mentality. A qualitative analysis was carried out in two advertisements offering English language teaching and training given theoretical constructs of scales, chronotopes, indexicality, and polycentricity. The results show that elements in the speech of the native speaker myth are present in the analyzed materials and end up fomenting several tensions between native speakers (NS) and non-native speakers (NNS), even with the tendency to decentralize the legitimacy of the English language learning and teaching in a polycentric context. The hypervalozation of transnational experiences by the economic elite feeds the imagery of the native speaker legitimacy, which is reified as a product of high value and prestige in the market. Keywords: Linguistic legitimacy. English as a lingua franca. Commodification of the English language.

The present work aims to make associations between language and nationalism, and these social conflicts. To this end, three papers were used as a basis for the discussion whose themes examine issues related to nationalism, the formation of European nation-states and the link between languages and dialects. The results of the study confirm that language and the concept of a nation are closely associated with the creation of nation-states. The paper is intended to contribute to the reflection on relevant themes to current and future trends in Applied Linguistics, as well as the discussion on population mobility and the historical incorporation of social groups into new territories.

O Advento dos Conflitos Línguísticos e a Criação da Identidade Nacional: Novas Discussões, Velhas Raízes Allan Cordeiro da Silveira1 RESUMO O Advento dos Conflitos Línguísticos e a Criação da Identidade Nacional, 2018

The present work aims to make associations between language and nationalism, and these social conflicts. To this end, three papers were used as a basis for the discussion whose themes examine issues related to nationalism, the formation of European nation-states and the link between languages and dialects. The results of the study confirm that language and the concept of a nation are closely associated with the creation of nation-states. The paper is intended to contribute to the reflection on relevant themes to current and future trends in Applied Linguistics, as well as the discussion on population mobility and the historical incorporation of social groups into new territories.
Discursos interculturais e identitários na fala dos alunos de mobilidade acadêmica expectativas e realidades discentes, 2018

De fato, a globalização é um fenômeno que influencia diretamente os processos de internacionalização da educação e os programas de mobilidade acadêmica são exemplos de mecanismos que viabilizam a internacionalização do Ensino Superior. A pesquisa tem como objetivo principal investigar como a mobilidade Brasil-Reino Unido, dentro de um programa britânico (Chevening), contribui para a formação de perspectivas cosmopolitas, interculturais, reflexivas e linguísticas. O estudo também tem outros objetivos, tais como: identificar relações (pos)coloniais desiguais, tendo em vista a posição hegemônica da língua inglesa no processo de mobilidade acadêmica; analisar quais são as características da emergência da classe média global, fora do norte global, levando em consideração a emergência de um capital cultural cosmopolita e de uma mentalidade neoliberal de competitividade. No que diz respeito à metodologia, uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo será realizada com o intuito de coletarmos e analisarmos dados obtidos por meio de entrevistas com participantes do programa Chevening. O próximo passo será a compilação e sistematização desses dados. Logo após, dar-se-á início à análise dos dados coletados. O objetivo dessa etapa é responder às perguntas de pesquisa que norteiam este trabalho.

O POTENCIAL DO PROGRAMA CIÊNCIA SEM FRONTEIRAS E AS OPORTUNIDADES QUE O BREXIT PODE PROPORCIONAR AO BRASIL ENXERGANDO AS LUZES NO FIM DO TÚNEL, 2017

Também analisamos como o Brasil pode angaria novas parcerias educacionais com o Reino Unido pós-Brexit. Em termos metodológicos, uma pesquisa documental de caráter qualitativo foi realizada por meio de dados coletados em sites oficiais e literatura sobre os programas. Os resultados confirmam a disparidade regional, apontam caminhos para que o Ciência sem Fronteiras se torne um programa mais abrangente e vislumbra possíveis parcerias educacionais com o Reino Unido pós-Brexit.

Papers by Allan Cordeiro
Countries, associations and institutions have invested financial resources in strategies to offer their students opportunities for establishing transnational contacts to foster autonomy, independence and professional exchange among their citizens. This practice is not new and is part of government’s internationalization plans both in old empires and in developing nations. Scholarships are the main instrument to carry out these language policies. These awards are benefits given to students who have the opportunity to strengthen lasting relationships with different countries. Some of these benefits also serve as instruments that enable soft power relations as a state policy that permeates international relations through the use and influence of language. This paper aims to present the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) program and outline how the initiative has contributed to designing a generation of Germans and Americans. The motivation for the work is to understand the role of strategic educational alliances between nations that were once at war. The paper also draws lessons from this attempt at cultural (re)approximation through a mixture of sociolinguistic immersion and diplomacy. These individuals (students-ambassadors)help to re(write) German history, but the issues to be debated relate to practical and valid transformation, management, nation-branding strategies in a highly globalized world.
The phenomenon of transnationalism is directly related to academic mobility programs, which are mechanisms that make this process feasible. The research investigates how the mobility between Brazil and the United Kingdom, within a British program (Chevening), contributes to the formation of cosmopolitan, intercultural, and linguistic perspectives in view of the concept of transnationalism of prestige. The study also aims to identify transnational relations, considering the hegemonic position of the English language in the process of academic mobility; to analyze the characteristics of alumni taking into account their field of study, geographical distribution, and the main destinations of the participants in this mobility program. Regarding the methodology, a quantitative data collection was conducted to analyze information from the "Handbook Brazil Alumni Yearbook – 1984–2014". The results of this work contribute to the field of research in academic mobility.
