“…A small component in the publication activity of Brazil’s highly cited is authorship links with neighboring countries. Although there have been occasional initiatives to enhance South–South engagement in Brazilian higher education and research in Latin America (Sá & Grieco, 2015), such activity does not appear as a significant element in the publication profile of Brazil’s highly cited. The more conventional pattern discussed above of participation in research networks centered around the United States and Europe was more prevalent.…”

For researchers in the global South, international recognition in science arguably involves engaging with the norms, ideas, and people leading research activity in the global North. This article explores the relationship between international research collaboration and the publication activity of highly cited researchers in Brazil, a country that exerts regional leadership in scientific production in Latin America, but remains relatively peripheral to global science. This study examined the career trajectories and publication patterns of highly cited researchers based in Brazilian universities, using Web of Science and CV data. Our findings show a pattern of international mobility among the Brazilian highly cited researchers from the early stages of their careers. With few exceptions, engagement with the academic Anglosphere is central to their achievement of highly cited status, which is derived from co-authored publications with collaborators from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia in large teams.

“…Most HEIs include internationalization as a part of their strategies, thus contributing to the development of study programs in English, guest lecturer involvement and participation in other activities aimed at attracting foreign staff and students who are an asset to HEIs where they are studying. Sá and Grieco (2015) examined the approach Brazil took to bolster internationalization of Higher Education between 2005-2015. They identified three key areas: human resources development; institution building; and international partnerships.…”

This study aims to contribute to Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within an international perspective. Our main argument is that when HEIs value international research and students’/academics’ international mobility, such institutions contribute to enlarge the view of internationalization throughout Brazil and push HEIs far beyond political, economic and commercialization processes considered to be, today, key drivers for Higher Education changes in terms of internationalization. To achieve this aim, the most recent tendencies in literature concerning the concepts of HEIs and International Management (IM) were gauged to realize the extent to which they may contribute to alternative perceptions in global Higher Education in Brazil. The theoretical framework was based on the articulation of such concepts, and data were connected to the interviews held with highly skilled scholars of three different public Brazilian HEIs using the methodology of oral histories. Data pointed traits and suggestions toward expanding internationalization in Brazilian HEIs, among which fostering international researchers and resource allocation systems for international research funding.

This article reports on a case study of English language learning in higher education, considering the impact of language policies embedded within a mobility scholarship programme on the practices of language teachers. Based on a larger ethnographic study following the experiences of several undergraduate members of one cohort of Brazil's Science without Borders programme for students in science and technological fields, this article describes how several language teachers engaged with the power relations of the frequently shifting policy terrain of the programme. It concludes with a discussion of possibilities for teachers in similar situations who endeavour to take a critical approach to language teaching and explores some of the tactics they might employ against those policies which they see as incompatible with their practices. KEYWORDS: English language learning; higher education; language policy. RESUMO:Este artigo relata um estudo de caso sobre a aprendizagem da língua inglesa na educação superior, considerando o impacto de políticas linguísticas embutidas em um programa de mobilidade nas práticas de professores de inglês. Com base em um estudo etnográfico mais amplo e seguindo as experiências de vários alunos participantes de um edital do programa brasileiro Ciência sem Fronteiras -destinado a graduandos de áreas tais como engenharia, tecnologia e ciências exatas -este artigo descreve como vários professores de inglês se engajaram em frequentes relações de poder que perpassam o programa. Conclui-se com uma discussão sobre possibilidades para professores em situações semelhantes que se esforçam para adotar uma abordagem crítica no Rev. Bras. Linguíst. Apl., v. 18, n. 2, p. 367-388, 2018 368 ensino de línguas, bem como exploram-se algumas estratégias que podem ser empregadas contra as políticas consideradas incompatíveis com suas práticas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: aprendizagem da língua inglesa; educação superior; políticas linguísticas.
