Περίληψη
In this Essay a 5 hour educational scenario entitled ‘Invitation to a party’ is presented. It is designed for adult migrants and refugees, A2 -by CEFRL standards- Greek language learners at a non-formal learning setting in Athens, Greece. This blended educational scenario is based on sociocultural, constructivist, and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) approach. It aims to enhance the learners’ communication skills (communicative, sociocultural, metacognitive, language and cultural awareness) through Task-based language learning (TBLL) activities integrating digital tools, such as Padlet, Office Forms, WordCloud and Canva. The added value of this scenario is that on the occasion of organizing a celebration, a situation that unites people all around the world, learners are supposed to develop simultaneously their L2 competencies, their digital skills and their citizenship, investing actively their identity. Throughcommunication, creativity and collaboration supports learners to be creators of knowledge.
