"Google Docs" in language teaching and learning

Original language description

A shared online environment enabling multiple users to edit documents simultaneously, e.g. wikispaces or Google Docs, has become very popular in classes focused on developing writing skills or in various complex web-based projects such as collaborative writing. This paper offers an overview of tried and tested Google Docs activities which proved to be effective within university ESP courses not specialized in writing. The examples are taken from the context of English for legal purposes; however, they can be easily adapted to other professional, academic or general settings. The activities concern both out-of-the-class and in-class situations, all of them exploit Google Docs as a tool which facilitates fulfilling language tasks, rather than employing Google Docs as the main instrument of enhancing the skills.
