Based on the assumptions of critical literacy (MONTE MÓR, 2013, 2014, 2015; MONTE MÓR; MORGAN, 2014; ROCHA, 2014; ROCHA; MACIEL, 2015), in this paper I analyze the pedagogical presuppositions that underpin the Common National Curricular Base (BNCC) concerning the teaching of English. As a methodological resource, I use the software of lexical analysis AntConc, which was used in my analysis to seek concepts of individual and society that are linked to the processes of teaching and learning the English language in the document. Results of this analysis point to imbalances and limitations in the concepts that permeates the BNCC, especially regarding what is meant by citizenship, criticism and diversity, which have implications and consequences for the education of students in English. I advocate how critical literacy can be used in a way that re-signifies conceptions perceived in BNCC.Downloads
