Sumario:This article discusses the (in)visibility of the Spanish language as a curricular content in the Brazilian basic education system. In this way, this text reflects about the Brazilian linguistic policies of insertion of foreign languages in basic education, and especially of the Spanish language. Then, we will analyze how to configure the Spanish language offer in Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology. To do so, we use the results of a questionnaire applied to Spanish teachers. As a result, the data show that in those schools Spanish occupies a secondary space, and it is a result of a historical process of de-officialization of the teaching of languages in the basic education in the country.
