Questo scambio ha coinvolto studenti dall&#39 Università di Padova (terzo anno del corso di Laurea in Mediazione Linguistica e Culturale) e studenti dall&#39 Università di Innbsbruck (Austria) iscritti a un corso di Cultural Studies. Per entrambi i gruppi, l&#39 inglese era la lingua di studio ed è stat perciò usata come Lingua Franca.

Gli obiettivi del corso erano molteplici: dare agli studenti la possibilità di sviluppare e/o manifestare competenza comunicativa interculturale attraverso l&#39 interazione con studenti da diversi backgrounds culturali, nazionali e linguistici migliorare le abilità linguistiche attraverso la partecipazione in discussioni content-based in inglese e stimolare competenze digitali attraverso l&#39 uso di una varietà di strumenti digitali (come, ad esempio, wikis, blogs, Facebook, Skype, wallwisher, Fotobabble ecc…)

Introducing each other using audio-visual materials

In this task, students
produce a short audio-visual presentation to introduce themselves to their peers. In order to do so, they use the free software tool Fotobabble, which allows them to upload a picture of their choice and record a short audio-presentation.
After sharing their own &quot fotobabble&quot with the rest of the group (e.g.
on a common wiki/blog),
students listen to
their peers&#39
presentations, take notes,
and prepare questions to get to know one other better. Questions are then asked in the next Skype meeting (or, alternatively, posted on a common wikipage/blog).

Padova-Innsbruck2011

28 January 201311 November 2019 Marta_Guarda

This exchange involved students majoring in Mediazione Linguistica e Culturale at the University of Padova (Italy) and first- and second year students attending a course in Cultural Studies at the University of Innsbruck (Austria). For both groups English was the foreign language of their studies, and was therefore used as a lingua franca.

The aims of the project were three-fold: providing students with opportunities to develop and/or manifest intercultural communicative competence through interaction with people from a different cultural, national and language background perfecting the learners&#39 language skills through content-based interaction in English and fostering their ‘ new online literacies’ through the use of a variety of Web-based tools (e.g. wikipage,
Facebook, Skype, Wallwisher, Fotobabble etc..).
