Bilinguísmo ou curso livre de inglês: qual a real necessidade do falante/estudante brasileiro

Abstract

There is an increasing need to learn another language and, especially English. Because of this, in addition to the free courses, the number of schools with bilingual education in Brazil has grown a lot and the demand for these schools increases every day. With this, a question arises about the real importance and necessity of a bilingual education for the Brazilian student/speaker against the English free courses that already exist for much longer. In this way, through a qualitative bibliographic research, we sought to discuss if opting for bilingual education is more advantageous and necessary than opting for free English courses, based on the studies of Megale and Liberali (2017), Silva- Speaks (2017), Muriana (2018), Ferreira and Mozzillo (2020), as these authors discuss and converge some points such as the influence of the financial conditions, the methodologies used and value for money in choosing each modality for learning English, which motivates the choice for English free courses.
