Abstract

The Internet allows the language learner myriad opportunities to consult authentic sources and to practise using the target language with native speakers and other learners both synchronously and asynchronously. The current paper describes the design, development and implementation of language learning activities using text-based virtual reality or MOO (Multi-User Domain Object Oriented) in conjunction with the World Wide Web. The underlying purpose was to promote active, autonomous learning behaviours by enabling geographically distributed language learners to work with native- and non-native speakers of the target language on an engaging and motivating task with a concrete and meaningful outcome.
