Abstract
Abstract Stepping up to Global Challenges (SGC) aimed to provide students with opportunities for language practice through task-based learning activities and the use of digital platforms for interaction. Marketing students at the Polytechnic of Viseu, Portugal, collaborated with peers from Poland and Turkey, choosing an image on entrepreneurship and posting it on the SGC Facebook page to solicit comments from their own and other groups. This was one of the tasks assigned during the 2nd semester of 2019/20, under the constraints of COVID-19. We analyzed the students’ choices, main difficulties, and motivation to persist in learning and improving their skills to share knowledge with (inter)national peers.
步入全球挑战(SGC)旨在通过基于任务的学习活动和使用数字平台进行互动,为学生提供语言练习的机会。葡萄牙维塞乌理工学院(Polytechnic of Viseu)市场营销专业的学生与来自波兰和土耳其的同学合作,选择了一张关于创业精神的图片,并将其发布在SGC的Facebook页面上,征求他们自己和其他团体的评论。这是2019/20学年第二学期在新冠肺炎疫情的限制下分配的任务之一。我们分析了学生的选择,主要困难,以及坚持学习和提高技能以与(国际)国内同龄人分享知识的动机。
