Over the last decades, open educational resources (OER) practices have heightened the need for tracing their adoption and development. This study aims to contribute to the State-of-the-Art of Brazilian scientific research on Open Educational Resources (OER), oriented to the teaching of Brazilian Portuguese as a First Language (F1) and other Foreign Languages (FL), such as English and Spanish, within the domains of Applied Linguistics (LA). The main goal is to map production (theses, dissertations, and journal articles) on OER from 2013 to 2020 to understand the current state of OER research at a national level within the LA scope. Data are gathered from two platform sources maintained by the Brazilian Federal Agency for the Improvement of Higher Education (CAPES): the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, and the Academic Journal Database. Following CAPES quality criteria, it is considered journals in Language and Linguistics, with international and national excellence. Our results identify a modest scientific production in four Brazilian regions, in which studies in the South are predominant, followed by the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest regions. Most research initiatives discuss OER language productions under the open teacher authoring tool (Online Language Teaching - ELO), OER in the field of language teacher education and language instruction, and OER communities on Facebook and Twitter.
After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
- Discuss Open Education Resources research on the teaching of first (F1) and foreign languages (FL) in the Brazilian educational scenario
- Know the state of the art of OER research in Applied Linguistics across the Brazilian regions
