Abstract

Taking Computer Mediated Communication opportunities in the education of English teachers as potentially innovative, the aim of this article is to analyze representations of national identity in a virtual context. Two Brazilian students from a Liberal Arts course established contact with adult foreigners on Facebook and interacted with them in English. A Critical Discourse Analysis approach was used to unveil linguistic organization and ideological reproduction of national speeches added in the transition to the online context. The results suggest a hybridization of discourse strategies taken from both offline contexts and online contexts with their multimodal resources. The participants used stereotypes in their speeches that come from big cities where globalization dynamics are generated, both at a national scale (southeastern region of Brazil) and worldwide (USA).
