Abstract

In this paper, we aim to present the process of texts construction during a knowledge internationalization project conceived of for high-school students from a technological school. It is a case study guided by the theory of language education policies, which focuses on the teacher's role as an agent of the school micro context (MENKEN; GARCÍA, 2010) and the Policy Cycle method of analysis (BALL; BOWE, 1992). The results show how language policies (collective actions, dynamic and conflicting) may be headed and led by a teacher, who is hierarchically inferior to her interlocutors in terms of institutional position.
