Resumo

This paper aims at presenting some considerations about the terms globalization, culture and multiliteracy used in the teaching of English as a foreign language in Brazil. I begin the article by revisiting some of the ideas spread by McLuhan about the Global Village and, throughout the paper I make a relation with the contemporary view of globalization, communities, enter-spaces and literacy. I also go through some data to illustrate possible creations of enter-spaces by emphasizing the role of using cultural topics in the teaching of foreign languages.
