The Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), rationale for choosing English, not other foreign language, to be taught in Brazilian schools is due to its relevant role in world communication. The document’s proposal is that English be learned in the same ways that students learn Portuguese, which means that:
-
A It will happen through daily linguistic practices, and encompass thought over those practices.
-
B The practices will always highlight language that’s associated with geographic/territorial notions.
-
C There is priority of oral comprehension and production, speaking and listening, with focus on meaning.
-
D The informative character of language instruction will be able to link political and pedagogic dimensions.
