Knowing a foreign language is an asset for people who want to travel, work or move in our globalized and rapid-changing world. There is a constant (Widdowson, 1990, p. 2) need to adapt the language teaching to the changes happening in the world. Thanks to new technologies, language learning may become more effective and attractive, allowing the learner to feel closer to the society and the country in which the language is spoken. In particular, mobile technologies enable a more personalized approach to learning by using target languages to resolve communication challenges. 'In addition, mobile technologies offer affordable learning resources (Kukulska-Hulme, et al., 2017, pp. 217-233).' On the other hand, it is well-known that technology itself is neither a method nor an approach. It is a tool. According to that, teachers need to rethink their way of teaching to create new models in which pedagogy and technology may be fully integrated. The author of this paper presents the experience of a traditional classroom second language course blended with technology-mediated tasks. That solution has turned out an excellent way to insert new and highly motivating activities (developed in a virtual environment) as well as to guide students among a large number of available resources. This blended solution applies TBLT (Task-Based Language Teaching) as a method of learning the second language by completion of real word tasks.(original abstract)
