First, the difficulties that this goal poses are reviewed and confronted with sorne successful precedents that show how to deal with those challenges. N ext, we present a case study in which sorne strategies and resources have been used to develop oral skills and improve pronunciation in technologically mediated envi­ronments, a Spanish L-MOOC for migrants and refugees, absolute beginners, developed at UNED (Spain). %K Speaking %K Pronunciation %K Oral skills %K Spanish as a Second Language %K Linguistic integration of migrants and refugees %K Mobile Assisted Language Learning %K Language-MOOC %K Producción oral %K Pronunciación %K Español como segunda lengua %K Integración lingüística de migrantes y refugiados %K Aprendizaje de lenguas mediado por ordenador %K Curso online masivo abierto para la enseñanza de lenguas %K L-MOOC %K Lingüística %K Linguistics %K Sociología %K Sociology %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
