Description
Summary:This paper describes the pedagogical experience carried out at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación (ETSIT) of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid with highintermediate students who leam English or French as a second language using a broad-band network infrastructure that allows them to practice the target language working coUaboratively with native speakers students from Cambridge and Paris.This local experience is integrated in the European Leverage Project whose pedagogy is based on a task-based, collaborative approach to language leaming. Our aims in the preparation for this activity were to familiarize ourselves -as teachers- with the broad-band network system, to find out how appropriate this system could be for a foreign language domain and to see to what extent this system could help improve communication in English and French among our students.
