Read the abstract below, analyze the following statements and identify the correct ones:
“This paper discusses some of the assumptions behind the use of the terms international, global, foreign, additional language and lingua franca when referring to English. Such terminology is approached from the angle of
the pedagogical praxis surrounding teaching-learning English in Brazilian public schools (GIMENEZ, CALVO &
EL KADRI, 2011), based on Derrida’s and Foucault’s thoughts on text and discourse, taken here as our focal
point when analyzing such terminology for English language teaching. The connotations attributed to English are
analyzed in their occurrence in language policy documents, international academic journals and abstracts of
papers presented at a Brazilian teacher’s education conference; the uses of the terms are contrasted with English
as a foreign language (EFL), as has been traditionally used in Brazil.
KEYWORDS: foreign language, additional language, English, language concept, poststructuralism.”
