O ensino-aprendizagem de línguas adicionais para a construção da autonomia e da agência

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present reflections, from a theoretical point of view, on how the learning of additional languages (AL), seen as a right of all people, can contribute so that the student has more mobility and, therefore, can develop his/her autonomy and his/her agency. The teaching-learning of AL can be considered a focus on bi/multilingual education, seen as the student development in two or more languages. Such development is not restricted to school/academic aspects; it goes far beyond them, involving total student development, which implies social, cultural, cognitive, emotional aspects, among others.
