This study mapped and discussed works that deal with the internationalization of education in its interface with language policies, from Postgraduate Programs in Letters and Linguistics in Brazil, between 2009 and 2019. It is a state-of-the-art bibliographic research, in the Catalog Capes Theses and Dissertations (BTD) and in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). From the investigated theses and dissertations, it is possible to notice: a) the area's growing interest in these themes, affirming the inter/transdisciplinary character of language studies and the relevance of languages ​​in internationalization; b) predominance of research in the South-Southeast axis; c) focus on government programs; d) studies in the context of English and French teaching. Thus, we point out the need for studies in the context of other languages ​​and approaches, and for researches that discuss alternatives to traditional internationalization strategies and to break with hegemonic and excluding language practices.
