Abstract

This paper aims to share a collaborative experience between two teachers in the conception and implementation of a Project-Based Language Learning proposal. The initiative was developed in a distance learning format and involved students of English and Portuguese as foreign languages from three universities, one Brazilian and two American, culminating in the production of a bilingual e-book on social justice. The process was documented through oral narratives recorded by the teachers after synchronous meetings, reflecting on their experiences. The path taken for the proposal's development and the resources used are presented. In order to contribute to pedagogical initiatives that integrate technology and active methodologies, the successes achieved and challenges faced throughout the process are discussed. Collaboration among teachers is highlighted as a possibility to deal with the excessive time and dedication required in the conception and implementation of high-quality projects.
