Therefore, we base our studies in the perspective of academic literacies, as proposed by Lea and Street (1998). The data were obtained through questionnaires addressed to coordinators and managers of postgraduate programs of higher education institutions participating in the project. The initial results show that there are more actions in favor of academic literacies in a foreign language than in Portuguese language. In addition, the respondents pointed out the need to develop actions related to language teaching as well as the understanding and production of academic genres (Abstracts, Articles, Oral Presentations) in both foreign and mother tongues.
