Políticas linguísticas convergentes e divergentes no ensino de Português – língua estrangeira

Abstract

In this article, we present the beliefs and practices of teachers who work in the pro-motion of Portuguese in the international scenario, in order to register the vision of these profes-sionals about instruments essential to the diffusion of Portuguese, in the current scenario. From the perspective of Spolsky (2004), to whom a Linguistic Policy (PL) should not disregard its agents, we then analyze the Lectorate Programs, the shortage of didactic material and the incipient training of teachers, as tools to promote Portuguese. In tracing this situation, we conclude that there is a gap between official policies and the needs of professors working in this area in general. Therefore, with this reflection, we aim to contribute to reducing the gap between these official actions and practices of these professionals, as well as reinforce the need for an increase in political-pedagogical training of the groups responsible of the promotion of a language with the characteristics of Portuguese.
