A systematic review of critical english language education in Brazil
Abstrak
The growing interest in critical English language education research within the Brazilian context highlights the need for a systematic review aimed at mapping the state of the art. I used Google Scholar to identify 143 articles which discussed the topic and met the inclusion criteria. The review shows that the growing prominence of critical English language education, linked to broader educational orientations and the rise of Critical Applied Linguistics in Brazil, emphasizes discussions on “critical themes”, particularly issues affecting minority groups. The review highlights a lack of research on the systematic teaching of language, though existing studies show notable progress. The findings can support educational policymakers in reimagining approaches to teaching language for social justice, grounded in a theme-based curriculum, moving away from the current model that emphasizes skills development.
