A gestão escolar como um instrumento de política de línguas

Abstract

This article analyzes school management as an instrument of language policy. To this end, a discussion of a theoretical nature will first be made, establishing the conditions under which the management of a school can be conceived as an instrument of language policy, with political effects on the way in which the languages in operation in its space are signified and signify its speakers. The school will be conceived as a space of enunciation. In a second moment, an analytical discussion will be made, in which two texts that function as language policy documents at the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP) will be analyzed. The theoretical-analytical discussion will be conducted from the perspective of the semantics of the event, in a fruitful dialog with the French discourse analysis. From the discussion undertaken, it will be observed that the school administration exercises power in the interplay of forces between languages and their speakers in the school space, since, through its administrative-normative acts, it organizes the way each language will function in its space of enunciation.
