Abstract

Drawing on the work done in networked classrooms by Bruce, Peyton and Batson (1993), this article describes the re-creation of the Project-Oriented CALL (PrOCALL) innovation at the University of Melbourne, based on the principles of socio-collaborative language learning with computers (Barson et al., 1993; Meskill, 1999). It discusses the initial guidelines adopted by the project team and how they have been implemented in seven language programs. The background factors that have affected the innovation are identified. The article also describes the impact the project has had on the institution, and the place it has taken in the curricula. Such considerations can help determine whether project-oriented L2 learning with technology has potential to become the basis for a large-scale curriculum renovation in a tertiary setting.
