=Welcome to the Italia-Australia Intercultural project= This project involves online collaborative language learning activities between students in the [|Italian Program]at [|The University of Melbourne]and the [|Centro Linguistico di Ateneo]of the [|University of Padova]

The aims of the project are:
 * to promote online collaboration between Australian and Italian students
 * to foster the development of linguistic skills through collaborative online work
 * to explore contemporary youth issues
 * to research intercultural language learning

The project team, consisting of [|Matthew Absalom](Melbourne), [|Suzanne Cloke](Padova) and [|Andrea Rizzi](Melbourne), is exploring the use of online collaborative language learning activities, their effects on intercultural competency and linguistic aspects of online communication. We will present some of our findings at [|EuroCALL 2007] later this year.

As a first activity, please visit the Introductions page and briefly present yourself in either English or Italian.
