Abstract
This chapter addresses the pedagogical implications of a research project carried out between 2010 and 2012 (Grazzi 2013). The project involved the design and implementation of networked-based activities for the English classroom, whereby two small communities of practice (CoPs) (Wenger 1998), composed of volunteer Italian students of English from five distally-located schools, were required to simulate an ELF-mediated setting and carry out several cooperative assignments. The overall aim was to provide English teachers and ELT practitioners with a model that could be developed and implemented to carry out international educational projects online, via the use of ELF.
