In an instable context in social and political fields, Brazilian government published the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) in 2018, aiming at giving normative directions to basic education. Addressing English teaching, BNCC contains parts related to critical reflection in its introduction, five organizational axis, specific competences, and particular skills for each year. These excerpts produce fertile field to appreciations before the consolidation of a curricular system that respects each schools’ specificities. Therefore, BNCC’s critical component is analyzed aiming to denaturalize supremacy and subalternity discourses (MENEZES DE SOUZA, 2011), from critical literacies theories (MONTE MÓR, 2017; 2018; MENEZES DE SOUZA, GUILHERME, 2019), aiming at interpreting how BNCC’s perceptions are presented in the process of critical awareness (FREIRE, 2001) in English teaching/learning. In this context, this research is qualitative, exploratory, and interpretativist, configuring a reading towards BNCC’s critical reflection in a social engaged perspective, projecting education as an agent to social transformation. It is perceived an advance towards critical notions of the subject and language, though the document still reflects globalization and social interactions perspectives that need reflection to demystify notions historically built by a social minority who still possesses privileges.
