We recognize that research methods are intertwined with ethical, political and theoretical perspectives towards what counts as non-Western in applied linguistics. By problematizing the ethical and political dimension of some Western theories and research methods in applied linguistics we tend to signal to the way they help to reproduce power relations and lack of solidarity and recognition of the Other. Specifically, we focus the analysis of applied linguistics research into colonial, post-independence, and post-colonial language policy in the Brazilian and African contexts from a critical non-Eurocentric perspective.
