This paper is situated in the scope of issues focused on the teaching and learning of languages and their effects on the practice of teaching. Thus, it is part of a larger project that aims to analyze the internationalization of basic education in relation to public policies for bilingual education in Brazil. In the meantime, it aims to understand conceptions and guidelines of the German Ministry of Education for the Teaching of Foreign Language for the years equivalent to the Early Years of Brazilian Elementary School. These guidelines guide approved bilingual primary schools and are also directed to primary schools that have the possibility to start foreign language classes from the 1st year. The theoretical frameworks used are CECR (2001), Libâneo (2006), Megale (2019), Spinassé (2006) and Souza (2019). The methodological and data analysis procedures are based on clippings from the Common European Framework for Language Teaching and the German Ministry of Education document prepared in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport of the state of Baden-Wurttemberg for the initial years, entitled "Education plan for the ground school". It was observed that the document considers three items: communicative skills, linguistic resources and cultural competences. Moreover, although there are directions, however, it is concluded that this document leaves open possibilities of content and methodology, pointing out only the importance of setting goals to achieve effective learning of competencies and skills by students.
