Abstract

This work aims at analyzing the way English as The Língua Franca approach is understood by the teachers and how this teacher realize his/her national identity. The research takes place at an English school which has its focus on people from the community. The methodology used is the qualitative and the theoretical basis is formed by Hall (1999), Woodward (2005), Moita Lopes (2008), Canagarajah (1999), Phillipson (1992), Jenkins (2006). Through the results we could understand that English as a Lingua Franca approach is not emphasized in the teacher training and thus national identity is being left aside.
