Abstract

When compared to any other language, English plays today an unprecedented role. Its importance and geographical dispersal, due to political, historical and economical factors, imply specific sociolinguistic traits, which should be questioned and discussed by the entities responsible for the teaching of English as a Foreign Language in Portugal. This dissertation aims to verify the role played by the norm and by the varieties of English within this context, by analyzing the 12th grade official program, as well as three selected syllabi. It also suggests a teaching unit which aims to compensate lacking varieties and to promote the debate of the social and political implications concerning this issue.
