Concept development, Language without Borders Program, English as a lingua francaAbstract
This article aims to report the development of the concept of English as a lingua franca by five participants in a short-term face-to-face course taught by two pre-service teachers in the Languages without Borders Program at a public Brazilian municipal university. Two data collection instruments were used: responses to two quizzes applied during the course and a questionnaire applied later. In their discourses, the participants brought to light, to a certain extent, evidence of a critical understanding of the concepts of native speaker, imperialism, judgment of value, linguistic discrimination, empowerment, linguistic monitoring, linguistic variation and a focus on communicative practices.
