Attributing a critical teaching of an educational nature and applying English as a Lingua Franca in the classroom, in awareness of the amplitude of the multiple aspects and elements behind the culture of disinterest, we sought to try to reverse or reduce the issue of students' disinterest in relation to the English language discipline. Analyzing program materials, such as reports and school activities, it was concluded that the critical teaching proposal made significant contributions, increasing learning and promoting greater student engagement in attention to the English language.
