| Summary: | Research in the field of computer assisted language learning (CALL) and teaching has discussed the necessity of defining a research agenda in the area. Because of this, some of these studies have focused on the analysis of research reports to identify the objectives of studies, the methodologies and the themes in order to identify the state of the art. By using a methodology of a research synthesis, this work identifies the Brazilian research stages in the field of CALL based on researches already published. The results suggest three stages of research in Brazil and that there are few Brazilian Applied Linguists producing research and publishing in the field of CALL in our country. Furthermore, it also suggests the necessity of CALL theory and practice to be implemented through academic subjects at Languages courses. |
