<strong>learning</strong><br />

The integration <strong>of</strong> online <strong>video</strong> tasks into a<br />

broader virtual <strong>learning</strong> environment goes<br />

beyond mere contextualisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>language</strong> tasks.<br />

than a ‘realistic excuse’ to use <strong>the</strong> target<br />

<strong>language</strong>.<br />

in social practice” [ Mondada & Pekarek, 2004],<br />

<strong>language</strong> education or digital education per se is<br />

pointless.<br />
