Abstract	This study aims to investigate to what extent Complexity Theory is discussed during the education of future teachers of additional languages. The approach to linguistic phenomena through a complexity perspective was first introduced in Applied Linguistics by Larsen-Freeman (1997, 2002, 2008). In Brazil, Paiva (2006), Paiva e Borges (2011), Franco (2013), among others, have adopted a complexity-informed approach to research language teaching and learning, and there seems to be a growing number of Brazilian researchers following that trend, which results in a series of master’s theses and doctor’s dissertations. However, it is yet to be known if that academic production is reaching undergraduate students, particularly those studying to become teachers of languages. In order to address that question, this study first defines what complex systems are, as well as the possible contributions of Complexity Theory to applied linguistics. Then, the research methodology is presented, namely, online questionnaires applied to undergraduate students training to become teachers of languages, in two universities in Porto Alegre/RS. The goal of the questionnaire was to explore what students know about language teaching through a complexity perspective, and when, during their university education, they were introduced to that approach. Results suggest that the contributions of Complexity Theory to applied linguistics 1 Doutorando em Letras (Linguística) na PUCRS, com bolsa do CNPq. 2 Professora-adjunta da Faculdade de Letras e do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da PUCRS.
