Descripción
Sumario:Since the release of the Coordination of Superior Level Staff Improvement's Institutional Program for Internationalization (PrInt/Capes), in 2017, the university internationalization and the language policies were given a new chapter in academic research in Brazil. In order to adhere to the program, the universities began to specify their theoretical, epistemological and ideological conceptions about these practices that, among other elements, constitute the university community. In this context, with the main objective of discussing some discourses on language policies and university internationalization, we developed a research through an analytical triangulation among some applied linguistics assumptions, the decolonial studies, and some results of a research on the project (PrInt) for a Brazilian university’s internationalization. Amongst some of our concepts and considerations are the possibility to articulate the Brazilian applied linguistics with the Latin American decolonial studies, the link between daily language practices and institutional language policies and ideologies, and the comprehensive and “at home” internationalization. Besides our results, in this article we also present the process of researching, in other words, the way we developed the theoretical-epistemological articulation throughout the research practice. Moreover, we present how the conceptual and analytical choices belong to the researchers' epistemological and ideological orientations.
