Driven language learning project
Socio - constructivism
Approach where social interaction is crucial in order to combine social and cognitive aspects.
Knowledge is constructed based on people experiences though interaction.
♦Learning strategies.
♦Employ an create learning resources.
♦Combining declarative with procedural knowledge.
♦Associate cognitive experiences with authentic environments.
♦Constant negotiation of meaning.
Learner is the center of the learning process and the teacher is a guide.
self - monitoring process takes place
CASLA
♠ promotes a second language acquisition
♠ Allows modified interaction between learner and computer
♠ Multiple interpretations of reality
♠ Natural complexity of theoretical world
♠ Authentic task and enabling context

Web quest
• Lesson format where material comes from the web.
• Promotes students roles

Conclusion
The L2 acquisition can be mediated by a CALL context where learners can interact with computers and humans, this helps to achieve the language goals successfully taking into the account that interaction is crucial to get knowledge through meaningful experiences.
