Abstract
Within the NIFLAR project two environments are being used in which language students can communicate synchronously with native speakers: video web communication (VWC) and virtual worlds (VW). In this paper we present and discuss a set of design principles of interaction tasks which have been developed and tested within the NIFLAR project We will present the analysis and assessment of some tasks that have been developed for and applied in the virtual world Second Life(SL). We finally present the results of a pilot conducted recently in SL.
