Abstract

Technological tools in the foreign language classroom facilitate, support, enhance, and extend the reach of teaching and learning, and allow for the inclusion of an authentic real-world context into an often textbook-driven learning environment. This applies in particular to the online platform weebly.com. This article illustrates that the creation of a multimodal text on weebly.com enhances students’ learning of the foreign language through building, evaluating, interpreting, and justifying information involved in the learning process. Moreover, the article exemplifies that the use of weebly.com in the foreign language classroom guarantees a personalized and differentiated approach to foreign language instruction, as it respects students’ personal learning styles, challenges their individual intelligences, develops their communication and research skills, and enhances their media and information literacies.
