Resumo

O inglês se espalhou pelo mundo e com ele o número de centros de idiomas (LCs) que vendem não apenas cursos de inglês, mas também visões coloniais do inglês como a língua do ser, do conhecimento e do poder por meio de uma infinidade de recursos de paisagem linguística (LL). Partindo dessa perspectiva, com base nas teorias decoloniais e LL, este estudo de caso multissite se propôs a investigar quais foram os mecanismos coloniais e as estratégias ideológicas empregadas pelas LCs inglesas localizadas em Bogotá e Medellín (Colômbia) para apresentar o inglês dessa maneira, e de que forma tais estratégias foram construídas. Os dados para o estudo incluíram fotos das fachadas de 15 LCs localizadas nessas cidades. Estes foram analisados usando ferramentas propostas por Kress e van Leeuwen (2001) para análise multimodal. Os resultados sugerem que as LCs utilizam uma série de mecanismos coloniais e estratégias ideológicas, como violência epistêmica, homogeneização e legitimação, que são postas em prática por meio do uso de diferentes recursos semióticos.
