Abstract
The Erasmus+ TeCoLa project (2016-2019) aims to develop and test
innovative gamified telecollaboration approaches for secondary schools that
address issues of learning diversity in intercultural and Content Integrated Language
Learning (CLIL) and teaching. Authentic task-based transnational interactions
among peers from different socio-cultural, educational and language backgrounds
are at the very heart of the learning process, using telecollaboration as a way to
communicate and collaborate. In this paper we will shortly describe the project’s
foci and will elaborate on the teacher training programme that has been designed on
the basis of the teachers’ needs and on a sound conceptualisation of telecollaboration
tasks that are useful, enjoyable, and meaningful.
