“…Despite these criticisms, there have been some advances concerning research that addresses the importance of raising awareness of racial issues in the EFL curriculum, as the literature produced in Brazil has shown (Ferreira, 2006(Ferreira, , 2012(Ferreira, , 2014Moita Lopes, 2002;Pessoa, 2014;Santos, 2011;Silva, 2009).
