Resumo
This paper seeks to investigate the social identities
connected to English in Brazil by connecting these to
linguistic ideologies, and reflecting on how they may
be challenged. It is based on first-person narration of
“critical moments” from the perspective of an English
language “native speaker” migrant to Brazil. The
reflections identify how race is intimately connected
to the “native speaker” category, theorised through
the notions of “racial acceptability” and “racial
capital”, drawing on a Bourdieusian theoretical
framework. The article concludes with examples of
challenges to the “native speaker” model in the hybrid
linguistic practices of Brazilian youth.
