Abstract

In South America, each country seems to keep to itself the Applied Linguistics studies that their researchers develop. This (apparent) lack of academic interchange among the various countries may be due to the (post)colonial memory that makes us look ‘North’ (as in North America and the northern hemisphere, i.e., Europe and the United States) instead of looking nearby to our neighbors. Furthermore, in most countries, Applied Linguistics is developed in the shadow of departments of linguistics or institutes of education. There are, however, exceptions to this picture when scholars assume themselves as applied linguists, when journals bear AL in their titles, and when publications are made visible.
