The paper will explore CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) in Portugal, focusing on higher education level. The lack of exploitation of CALL in PT is well-documented in several reports, e.g. The EU commissioned report "The Impact of Information and Communications Technologies on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and on the Role of Teachers of Foreign Languages" (2002: 5): "The use and employment of ICT in FLT and FLL is far from satisfactory, as ICT resources are traditionally reserved for `(computer) science‘ subjects, and rarely assigned to arts subjects. A general lack of appropriate training of language teachers in meaningful uses of ICT tends to strengthen this trend". The paper will address these needs by focusing results from European projects like POOLS. We‘ll deal with questions concerning online materials that can be used for developing language lesson contents making use of the advantages of e-Learning and questions on teaching the less taught languages to use.
