Universidad de Barcelona). This telecollaboration project was based on different communicative tasks that had to be completed collaboratively using different formats of online interaction (videoconferencing, WhatsApp, Flipgrid). Task designing and evaluation systems used in this project are presented in the article as well as the qualitative methodology that was applied inorder to analyze HI students’ reflections on the telecollaboration project and its impact on their language competence.
