Abstract
According to the Common European Frame of Reference for Languages and the Curriculum instructions, teachers should introduce educational projects and task-based learning in their teaching procedures.
The following paper presents the teaching and learning actions that took place for the training of the students of the post-graduate program for teachers of French language at the Hellenic Open University during the academic year 2012-13. The actions included critical analysis of existing educational projects, elaboration of new projects proposed by the students themselves as well as the collaboration and communication via Skype between two teams of the module for the presentation of their work. The evaluation of the training made by students by means of a questionnaire indicates their positive attitude towards task-based learning and its implementation at schools, while points of further improvement are also recorded.
