Resumen

Este trabajo aborda los retos asociados al desarrollo de las destrezas de producción oral (incluyendo la pronunciación) en un recurso tan condicionado por las tecnologías y tan difícil de personalizar como un curso online masivo y abierto (MOOC). En primer lugar se plantea una reflexión sobre las dificultades que ese objetivo plantea y se describen algunos precedentes de éxito que demuestran que, de una manera u otra, estos desafíos ya se han abordado. A continuación, presentamos un estudio de caso en el que se han utilizado algunas estrategias y recursos para desarrollar las habilidades orales y mejorar la pronunciación en entornos mediados por la tecnología, un L-MOOC español para inmigrantes y refugiados, principiantes absolutos, desarrollado en la UNED (España).
