Sumario:Learning a foreign language with the title of lingua franca, such as English, implies studying it analytically to create intelligibility about the ideologies conveyed in discourses in general. Because we consider the text as an instance of meaning (Halliday, 1994) and as the central unit of pedagogical work (Brasil, 2018), in this article, we present a proposal for developing English teaching material for high school, by analyzing an    emblematic excerpt from the Barbie film, released in 2023, that leads us to reflect on social issues important to the formation of critical citizens. For this undertaking, we took as basis the contributions of Systemic-Functional Linguistics (Halliday; Matthiessen, 2004), with a focus on the Appraisal System (Martin; Rose, 2003; Martin; White, 2005), and aligned ourselves with Critical Applied Linguistics (Grande, 2021) and with ethical-reflexive teacher education (Miller, 2013), under a qualitative-interpretivist research approach (Denzin; Lincoln, 2006). In this study, we propose a pedagogical practice that exceeds the linguistic level, with functional and questioning potential, given the contexts of situation and culture in which we find ourselves, whether we are teachers and/or students.
