Webs and language learning: analysis of reading and listening activities for the non-native English speaker: the case of the BBC

Language learning has become a key educational objective for providing new generations with tools that allow them to cope with the challenges of the 21st century, a time marked by technological advances, migration, professional demands and economic and social disparities. Bearing in mind such conditions, new educational approaches characterized by the presence of technology (CALL -Computer Assisted Language Learning- and TELL -Technology-Enhanced Language Learning- among them) are emerging and making language teaching significantly better than in the past by providing greater flexibility, freedom and efficiency, as well as increasing students' motivation and possibilities to access original materials. In this light, this paper aims, on the one hand, to reflect on language learning (focusing, specifically, on English), along with the possibilities offered by computer-assisted language learning; and, on the other, to analyse from a double perspective a particular web for learning English directed to non-native speakers of this language: BBC Learning English.
