Sumario:More than thirty years after the creation of Mercosur, it is worth studying its impact on the teaching of Portuguese as a foreign language in Argentinian high schools. From a glottopolitical perspective, this article presents the research results obtained through the analysis of thirteen interviews with Portuguese teachers from four Argentinian regions: the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) and the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe and Córdoba. In the interviews, we elicited the value of Portuguese taking into account its place in the school curriculum with respect to other languages, the arguments to support the need for its teaching, and its perspective. The results indicate that Portuguese is a marginal and unstable discipline in the school curriculum. Therefore, teachers are committed to not only teaching, but also promoting it as glottopolitical school actors. Different paradigms of language teaching coexist in their discourses (structural, communicative and plurilingual), which does not always consider the regional dimension. Although this has not been expressed as a goal or a cross-cutting issue, it shows up in situated didactic activities that contemplate South American realities.
