Since 2017, the Municipal Secretary of Education of São Paulo (Brazil) has used the City Curriculum as a guiding document for educational practices. This document is aligned with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and articulated with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The key concepts that constitute it are comprehensive education, equity, and inclusion. Integrated with these materials, Pedagogical Guidelines were recently published, with the aim of expanding the curricular proposal, towards the promotion of an Anti-Racist Education and to include work with Migrant Peoples. Given the premise that English language classes can be a privileged space for discussions on the decolonization of practices associated with the teaching of a prestigious foreign language, this article presents an exploratory study of these documents (SÃO PAULO, 2019a, 2019b, 2019c, 2021, 2022), to contribute to field studies aimed at promoting training spaces for english language teachers, in a decolonial perspective.
