It considers ideologies regarding concepts of development and modernity and the socio-historical, political and economic conditions that have contributed to the reproduction of unequal social structures in the country. Following Foucault\u2019s ideas of genealogy (1984), I am interested in addressing questions such as (1) the conditions that made English emerge as a requirement for projects of modernization and development in Chile (Larra\u00edn, 2000); (2) The relations of power embedded into material and symbolic relations on the local level. (Park &amp; Wee, 2012); (3) how language is constructed discursively in economic terms (Heller &amp; D\u00fbchene, 2012); (4) The role of language in the construction and\/or reformulation of hegemonic discourses to rationalize social practices (Heller &amp; McElhinny, 2017), in particular after the return to democracy; and finally, (5) The effects and consequences of these discourses and practices in education.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in\">Duch\u00eane, A. &amp; M.
