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
