The e-lang project developed a pedagogical approach for the use of digital tools and resources in the context of language teaching and learning. Its objective was to help learners become competent and autonomous language users and digital citizens. By focusing on “real-world” tasks carried out online on participatory sites, the e-lang approach brought to the fore the importance of social interactions in human communication and action.

The team members were Christian Ollivier, Université de la Réunion (project leader), Catherine Jeanneau, Limerick University (language officer), Ulrike Hoffmann (website officer) and Katerina Zourou (communication officer). Watch the video introduction by Christian Ollivier here.
