RESUMO:

This study was based on the reflections and clashes involving the stricto sensu graduate student researcher in science teaching regarding the knowledge of the English language as an international language of science and the challenges of the universe of scientific production in the globalized society. The objective is to identify and analyze the problem of the use of additional languages, particularly English, through the challenges of the internationalization of science, and its consequences as the close relationship between the communicative deficit in scientific dissemination in additional languages due to lack of language proficiency and the need for productivity and visibility of the Brazilian scientific production, in defense of language policies that do not contribute to the perpetuation of a monolingual hegemony. In the first instance, the theoretical construct of the research was established in four pillars: 1) English as an international language; 2) The predominant use of English in research and the challenges of scientific production that meet the perpetuation of a monolingual hegemony of global and local reach; 3) The problems related to the production and circulation of scientific knowledge in the conception of the research participants in relation to the theoretical framework and 4) the adoption of a critical stance of the research student in order to supress the “linguistic capital” that seems to want to dominate the dissemination of science in contemporary times and seek to know and produce science in different languages, including non-hegemonic. This study is characterized as a qualitative interpretative research in which seeks to investigate students' reactions to their English language proficiency and their propositions concerning language policies in the educational system, especially their reactions to the anglicization of science. Internationalization, in the context of research, is neither the “Americanization” nor the “Anglicization” of the academic world, but a bilateral process of cooperation and mobility and multilateral initiatives of the subjects involved. For data generation, questionnaires were applied to students from 7 of the 10 stricto sensu postgraduate programs in science education with a concept equal to or greater than 5, and 87 students participated. Open questionnaires and interviews were also given to the coordinators of the programs involved, in which 5 coordinators participated. After analyzing the results, it was evident that there is little publication in English. The next step was to select the PPGEFHC students who had already published in English and a focus group was made to talk about the theme, who commented that the choice for the PPGEFHC program was because it was well regarded by CAPES, and that the program was made up of 39 people, of whom only 8 stated to have publications in English and of these, 4 agreed to participate in the focus group. The choice for this program is because, in addition to being well regarded by CAPES, was the one that obtained the largest number of participations, in a total of 39 people, 8 of whom reported having English publications and 4 agreed to participate in the focus group. The triangulation of these data included the interview with the program coordinator and its founder and dean, Professor Dr. Olival Freire Júnior. The results and findings proved to be useful and of fundamental relevance for the advancement of the political-ideological discussions inherent in the language policies related to the process of internationalization of science today, but, in particular, to deepen the reflection on aspects that encourage the valorization,  non-hegemonic, decolonial languages, in which Portuguese and other languages are powerfully inserted in order to attract many more researchers due to the quality of their research.
