ABSTRACT

This article aims at analyzing applied linguistics in the field of the globalization of the English language in con

temporary times. In the competence of this reflection, it is suggested, to the explanation of applied linguistics,

contemplating English as an idiomatic tool of global communication, used by different nations and cultures

and for that very reason, it is pointed out the inevitability of reconsidering, such as the progress of critical

education that act in the sense of decolonizing this language, with viewpoints that favor the development of

critical learners, to be able to work with linguistic diversity and its modern causes, whose consolidations are

made through the English language, thus, requesting communication, whether oral or written, within a language

unhooked from its origins. Methodologically, the research is organized in the light of the literature review, thus,

the process of survey and qualitative analysis will be shown in what has already been published on the theme.

As the main theoretical support, Moita Lopes (1996, 1998, 2006, 2009) Kumaravadivelu (2006), Celani (1998),

and among other authors, who support the discussion of the theme, stand out. It is indispensable, to overcome

the limitations supported by most of the work done in LA so far, in order to be acceptable the beginning of a

place that benefits a constant movement of reflecion and action around the formation of the future teacher of

languages, especially of the English language.
