I once tried having my 1st grade students at the academy do a kind of drama and a script, to improve vocabulary comprehension and fluency in speaking. It worked well, so I have been able to incorporate it into my range of “fun” or “relaxing” activities at the end of class.

I could ask them to write a script and enact a scene that they could perform and record on video, edit and upload to a platform for the other classmates to see. This is a task that fosters collaboration, since they have to design their characters and write their lines in conversation with one another or else the interactions won’t make sense. It also promotes creativity and makes them speak in the target language.

A collaborative language learning task I love is Scavenger Hunt. It is a fun way of learning new vocabulary (the game can be themed depending on the time of the year, i.e.: Halloween, Christmas, Easter Holidays, etc.) and also a very productive way to teach them how to work in teams.

One collaborative language task could involve students working together to create a podcast on current social issues. They would research a topic, plan different episodes, and take on different roles such as hosts, researchers, or scriptwriters. This activity would help them practice critical thinking, improve their speaking and writing skills, and encourage them to discuss relevant topics in the target language. Additionally, they could use a platform like Padlet to share their recordings and receive feedback, promoting language development and teamwork.

Students can work in a collaborative environment in different ways. For example, they can create a project about one of the seventeen SDGs to present to a class and evaluate their peer projects. They also can do role-playing activities like making a video about a real-life situation, outside activities in groups like cleaning a park and learning vocabulary about climate change while they do a good action for a community.

They could create a project about a topic they end up presenting in different ways, as a podcast, recording a video, creating a web... They could also create a debate about a juicy or interesting topic for them in order to encourage them to develop their speaking skills as well as critical thinking and respect.

Nowadays, gossip is really trendy so I think that it would be a great idea to create debate teams and provide them interesting or spicy themes to talk about. This encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and fluency in expressing opinions.

Students could create scenarios where they must role-play a scene based on their favorite movie. Working in pairs or small groups, they practice real-life language while also learning new vocabulary depending on the genre of the movie.

Students could collaborate to create short videos, a shared blog where they post weekly updates, virtual exchanges, and virtual tours. Also like we are doing right now, they could use Padlet to write a story or work together to solve a problem.

# data[].attributes.body
In a collaborative storytelling students could create a short story based on any famous book/film they like while they practice their writing skills. For example, they could write a diary imagining they are any Harry Potter character. Then each week all students would have to exchange their diaries and continue to write the stories.

Some collaborative language tasks could be role-playing, debates or collaborative story-telling. Also, more focused on technology tools, they could create a podcast or a YouTube video about a specific topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I could have students create a group podcast on “A Day in the Life of a Teenager” in different countries, with each student researching and discussing a different country’s culture. Another task could be a role-play where students simulate a job interview scenario, with one being the interviewer and others as candidates. They could also work together on creating a travel itinerary for a trip to an English-speaking country, negotiating activities and budget in English.

I would like to do a Role-Play.

It will consist on a task in which in pairs or small groups of people, students have to perform real-life situations, such as a visit to the doctor, a job interview, or checking into a hotel.

The objective is developing speaking and listening skills in contexts that they can face in real life. They can previously study some vocabulary according to each situation.

I remember when I was at secondary school, I had an English teacher who used to set us fun tasks for speaking activities, such as being ‘YouTubers’. The task was that in groups, we had to record a video as if we were going to upload it to the ‘YouTube’ platform talking about some cultural topic from an English-speaking country. I think it can be a great collaborative activity. I participated in it, and besides showing more interest and researching on our own, we were able to put points in common with our teammates.

It would be a great idea to create a forum where one people of the class starts writing a story. You give them a week and in that week the whole class has to continue story from their previous classmates. Like this, they will create a story improving on their writing skills.

# data[].attributes.body
We could create a blog for the whole class, and there set a topic of discussion and each student contributes with a post, practicing writing skills. Students can also comment on each other's posts to encourage discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like it to be something fun, something that involves creativity, so that students can share different perspectives. A storyteller would be a good example for that. Recording a video too, maybe with a TikTok format, as it has become so popular lately.

# data[].attributes.body
Students can collaborate on creating a podcast or video on a cultural topic, they could even do live sessions of cultural workshops (Ex: A workshop on how we prepare our X dish). They could write and edit entries for a group blog, and even create their own website with sections. Another option is to participate in online role-play scenarios, where they interact in real-life situations, or design a collaborative tourist guide, for example, or scape rooms or online games themselves They could also engage in collavorative translation tasks, translating texts and discussing linguistic and cultural challenges, or conduct interviews with native speakers to create a report or presentation. The options are limitless

In a collaborative storytelling students could work in pairs or small groups to create a story in the target language. They can use digital tools like Google Docs or Padlet to write and edit the story together. Afterward, they can present the story in a video or audio format, practicing both writing and speaking skills while working collaboratively.

Collaborative language learning tasks, such as role-playing, group storytelling, and information gap activities, encourage students to communicate, share information, and practice language in context. Tasks like debates, peer teaching, and collaborative writing promote teamwork while enhancing speaking, listening, and writing skills. Activities such as word games, scavenger hunts, and video projects further support vocabulary building and creative language use, fostering active engagement and collaboration.

From my point of view, some collaborative language learning tasks could be creating a podcast, using Padlet to share different ideas, creating a website, creating a Youtube channel...

Collaborative language learning tasks can include group discussions, role plays, peer reviews, language games like "20 Questions," and collaborative storytelling. These activities can encourage teamwork while helping students practice and improve their language skills.

We can use activities that combine creativity with technology. For example, students could create projects like the podcasts on the previous activity, or travel blogs using tools such as Google Docs, Padlet, or Canva. They could also create videos or design games on platforms like Kahoot or Blooket.These activities can be adapted to involve students from different cultures, allowing them to exchange ideas, improve language skills, and explore cultural perspectives while using digital tools.

We could involve students in role-playing real-life scenarios, creating multimedia projects like podcasts or enhance students on collaborating with their partners on writing tasks or essays. They can use Google Docs or other online platforms.

# data[].attributes.body
We could ask them to create an infographic in pairs about a topic in English and using Canva. Also, they could design their own game either in Kahoot or Blooket. Another fun activity would be to create a video regarding a topic, so they would have to create the script, record it and edit it.

Padlet could be used as a tool to create a sort of travel blog for a specific country - each students could make a post about a monument or a place to visit. After that, they could create a travel intinerary by placing the posts in a specific order

We could make them use padlet to create a society or something, or we could make them create a website. For a language lesson, I think than choosing the theme of tourism/travel could be interesting. And if there're from different countries, they could share the information about there countries on a google doc.

Students could be asked to write a collaborative story for which each one write a part of the plot. They could also take part in the story and participate in a global simulation on Padlet.

Another idea would be to let them create a multilingual guide for a school trip (or about any other topic like the International Francophonie Day etc.) so they would have to collaborate to find the relevant information, write the content, create an interesting design, and why not make it multilingual so more people could read/use it.

Students could be asked to create a dialogue, or a story, whatever the subject, where they all chat together to create a story if it is synchronous or where they all write a different part if it is asynchronous. It is also possible to work on Padlet, GoogleForms...

They could also create audio dialogues in the target language in groups of 2 of different languages and then they answer in the other language...

Students could be asked to create a trip to eachother's country in groups including learners from different nationalities, using padlets, google docs and other ressources. They could interact on what could be best to do and how to do it properly. By working all together toward this goal they would use technology and therefore develop their skills in using technology but also their language and cultural skills because they would have to reflect and work on these aspects for a potential exchange.

We could assign the students teamwork / group tasks online, working on a public board together where the teacher can have access throughout the creation

Maybe create a google docs/padlet to ask questions/talk about a topic, then the students can reply and share their opinions, and they could see what everyone else says.

We could ask them to make a website about a specific topic and each of the students have a role in the creation of the website and its content.
