In the study of unequal societies as the result of language use, the Paraguayan case stands out among several realities. Paraguay is a South American country which offers a unique opportunity to analyse how language(s) may influence the socioeconomic position or social mobility of people. In this scenario, the present article analyses the political purposes that Language Policy and Planning (LPP) has served in Paraguay as well as the consequences this approach has produced regarding society segmentation. Through a literature review, the text emphasises how LPP was developed in an early and modern stage of the Paraguay government. On this regard, a dangerous relationship between the government's political wing and the approach of LPP is exposed. Moreover, society stratification is understood as one of the main consequences of this link. Finally, a reflection about possible considerations when designing LPP is proposed in the conclusion.

“…In this regard, some developing countries have decided to act on the high value of English by designing and implementing macro-national educational policies to foster EFL learning at a variety of educational levels. These top-down policies frame EFL learning under the discourse and language ideology 1 of English as the language for socioeconomic development and social mobility (Canagarajah, 2006;Hamid, 2016;Lee & Li, 2008). Consequently, countries have progressively included EFL in their linguistic repertories, which has resulted in the growing of the outer and the expanding circle areas of Kachru's (1990) model of English in concentric circles.…”
