Abstract

This study explores approaches on telecollaborative task design in a Content-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) context for language courses. This study discusses integration of task-based telecollaboration into a CLIL course and concludes feasible guidelines on the task design in terms of content, communication, cognitive and culture. The results of the study may give insights for telecollaborative teaching practitioners.
