dpj1-319	Figueredo, Carla Janaina	Sink or swim? Responsible situated agency constructed by socioeconomically underprivileged students of English in neoliberal Brazil	2020	32	.pdf	application/pdf	18675	826	48	Abstract This article discusses the results of a four-year investigation on the neoliberal challenges faced by socioeconomically underprivileged students in Brazil who were majoring in English teaching. In his article The Decolonial Option in English Teaching: Can the Subaltern Act?, Kumaravadivelu (2016) puts forward some elements that directly or indirectly support neoliberal principles in the English language education worldwide, namely: the way English-speaking countries impose the consumption of their theories and pedagogical methods to learners and teachers of English from peripherical countries; the way these ‘consumers’ end up reinforcing their marginalizing conditions when they are not able to recognize the value of their own production; the way this marginalization leads to a process of self-marginalization, especially when non-native speakers are confronted by the discourse-driven figure of the infallible native speaker; and finally, the way scholarly research produced in peripherical countries is marginalized for not having been written in neoimperial English.	cache/dpj1-319.pdf	txt/dpj1-319.txt
