In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the cultural diversity and social inequality present in Brazil are highlighted, above all, in educational practices, especially in language education, which is the focus of this Dossier. In this way, the value of acknowledging multiculturalism is highlighted. It is a historical construction, the result of a process of struggle and social struggle, not being, therefore, a natural, spontaneous phenomenon, since it represents the democratic coexistence of different cultures in the same social space (FREIRE, 2014). Therefore, it is important to broaden reflections on Translanguaging, in order to understand it as an action of resistance to the ideologies that reproduce discrimination and a way of building democratic attitudes that enable humanized social coexistence between different cultures and repertoires (CANAGARAJAH, 2013 ; GARCÍA, 2009; GARCÍA; WEI, 2014; MAKALELA, 2016; ROCHA; MACIEL, 2015).
