Abstract
In order to contribute to the debate about the intersection of language, political economy and South Korean transnational migration, this article aims to understand the value of Korean language in transnational families living in Brazil. The discussion is based on the analysis of interviews conducted with four mothers of a South Korean community in São Paulo State. The article focuses (a) the evaluation of children language practices in Korean (b) the strategies used to promote and teach Korean language in the family context during the residence in Brazil. The analysis explores post-nationalist ideologies (HELLER; DUCHÊNE, 2012) involved in the way Korean language is valued by the mothers which might demonstrate reshaped ways of belonging in late capitalism. In addition, the discussion underlines nationalist language ideologies in the researcher practices in an attempt to enhance debates on language ideologies in the field of Applied Linguistics.
