In this article we proceed to a discussion about our ethical and political implications as language-teaching professors in a hosting course for refugees. We aim to address the field of second-language-teaching education, considering the teacher's role in promoting rights. In this context, we discuss the following matters: i) which language policies can sustain the preparation of teaching materials for Portuguese language teaching to refugees?; ii) which ethical and political implications are subjacent to the proposition of activities as language teachers towards this direction? Considering that the guiding issues of this paper is related to interdisciplinary analysis, we propose to discuss these matters based on the perspective of Deleuze and Guattari’s micropolitics and Bakhtin’s alterity concept.Downloads
