Principles illustrated:

• integration of technology in the ESL classroom through project/ task-based learning

• the CALL teacher as facilitator

• students taking responsibility for their learning (learner autonomy)

• students constructing knowledge through interaction and collaboration on tasks/projects

• collaboration that fosters negotiation of meaning

• opportunities for scaffolded skill-based learning that promotes communicative competence
