The proposed activities aim to develop students’ skills and autonomy by completing various tasks, individually or in a group, in order to achieve results to be shared in class or on the Moodle platform. These tasks include (1) search for lexical information to be shared on the e-learning platform (glossary); (2) search for opinion pieces and language resources to be commented and shared on the e-learning platform (forum); (3) group role-playing exercises (debates) and individual oral presentations; (4) writing reports and short argumentative essays; (5) listening, reading and multimedia comprehension of authentic oral, written or multimedia materials; (6) reflection on learning outcomes in the student’s “diary” available on Moodle platform.
