Abstract

The combination of English as a foreign language (L2) learning and technology in blended teaching methodologies represents a relevant effort towards learners’ full development of communicative competence, digital literacy and citizenship in the globalized world we live in today. The present study aims at describing and analyzing the design of a task cycle based on internet tools. The task design followed the framework proposed by Skehan (1998) including pre-, during- and post- task phases. Results of the study suggest that the task cycle described here may be useful to develop reading and digital skills in L2 and as such, represents a relevant contribution to L2 teachers and course designers.
