This article aims at contributing to the ongoing discussion about the English language Supremacy and its influence in the EFL field. The theoretical discussion presented is retrieved from the literature reviewed in the development of the authors’ master thesis, where it was possible to identify that there are ideological, economical, and sociopolitical aspects immersed in the decision to learn and use English, having as a result that EFL teachers’ educational decisions and practices have been affected. Thereupon, the main contribution of this reflection article is, then, to explore from a theoretical perspective, a resistance discourse that promotes professional development by understanding and reflecting upon the colonial ideas in which this foreign language teaching has been immersed over the years. Key words: English supremacy, colonial discourse, professional development, NES vs NNEST

EFL教师的专业发展：实现英语至上的对等

本文旨在为有关英语至上及其在EFL领域中的影响的持续讨论做出贡献。提出的理论讨论是从作者的硕士学位论文的发展中回顾的文献中检索的，在该文献中可以确定在学习和使用英语的决策中包含了思想，经济和社会政治方面的内容，因此EFL教师的教育决策和实践受到了影响。因此，这篇反思性文章的主要贡献是，从理论的角度探讨一种反抗性话语，通过理解和反思这种外语教学多年来沉浸于其中的殖民思想来促进职业发展。关键词：英语至上
