Introduction  \nThe internationalisation of the Portuguese language has become a priority for academic institutions of different Portuguese-speaking countries which are trying to adapt to the current context of globalisation and ubiquitous communications through digital media . In order to achieve the goal of internationalising Portuguese, several challenges should be faced, namely providing international students with resources aimed at helping them improve their Portuguese while fostering the use of this language in academic and scientific contexts . Facing these challenges involves making educational, political and diplomatic efforts which can help Portuguese occupy an important position in the global context (International Institute of the Portuguese Language, 2010) . This position would thus match the relatively significant economic and political importance of Portuguese-speaking countries such as Brazil.  \nIn spite of being an international language, Portuguese has not fully achieved internationalisation . In order to achieve this, the Brasilia Action Plan for the Promotion, Dissemination and Projection of the Portuguese language (BAPPDPPL, International Institute of the Portuguese Language, 2010) suggests that the steps to be taken are: identifying, creating and editing high-quality teaching materials which bear in mind the sociocultural, political, economic and linguistic contexts in which they are used; and using the Information and Communication Technologies effectively in both face-to-face and online learning environments, as reported by the aforementioned document.  \nIn this context, it is suggested that it would be beneficial to adopt a computer assisted language learning (CALL) approach to face the challenges . Following this approach, a virtual learning environment (VLE) could be developed with a view towards fostering internationalisation by means of promoting free self-access online learning of the Portuguese language in higher education settings .
