Thus, its time frame is located between the creation of the School of Commerce in 1759 and the end of the activity of the Commercial Institute of Rio de Janeiro in 1902. Its object is limited in the relationship between Luso-Brazilian commercial training and the process of constitution of English as main language for commercial purposes, preserved as a category of basic analysis the commercial education. Its main objective, in turn, is to analyze the configuration of English as a subject of teaching in commercial education, in Portugal and in Brazil.
