Communicative abilities in L2 mediated by technology in the context of task based teaching and cooperative learning

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to portray how the theoretical principles of task-based teaching, cooperative learning and call can be used together in the design of activities for the improvement of linguistic abilities. To achieve this, empirical evidence was examined in order to determine the efficiency of this integrated methodology vs. The traditional one commonly used for teaching English as a foreign language. Both methods were contrasted and tested in an experimental pre/post test control group research design. The results show that the experimental group, which used the integrated methodology, had a considerable language improvement compared to the control group that used a traditional one. This suggests that an integrated methodology using the approach of the task-based teaching, the cooperative learning and call would be beneficial for the improvement of linguistic abilities.
