Abstract
The use of social technologies in language learning is becoming
more widespread. Although theoretical and methodological frameworks exist
for the use of these technologies for language learning, their applicability is still
unclear. To fill this void, the current thesis sets off to explore the theoretical
framework of Papert’s constructionism as a pervasive theoretical paradigm on
which the use of social technologies in CALL can draw upon. In the paper the
progress achieved in the current thesis is outlined, as well as the future action
plan.
