Abstract

This article addresses the linguistic plurality and language in education policies in Brazil and discusses the forms of multilingualism management in education. The text, whose objective is to establish dialogues regarding the factors that affect the management of multilingualism aiming at the promotion of the plurality of languages in the country, starts from the assumption that multilingualism and languages are the object of management, in which power relations and actions of multiple agents are observable. For this purpose, the theoretical framework on which the discussions are based is initially presented: language policies, language in education policies, language and multilingualism management at school. Then we discuss the challenges and potentialities that constitute the axis of the debates around the promotion of linguistic policies for multilingualism in Brazil. Finally, we present experiences and actions that challenge the monolingual political-linguistic framework that has been built in the country for a long time, and also, guidelines are presented for the continuation of discussions and reflections on the theme presented here.
