Business English 3.0: Hands-on Online and Virtual Collaboration Tasks aims to provide a wealth of resources to guide language teachers willing to explore and implement virtual exchanges for language learning for specific purposes through collaborative tasks. It intends to equip language teachers with the necessary guidance and understanding to approach innovation within telecollaborative ESP settings, leading to the development of new forms of learner interaction. Furthermore, it proposes different ways of incorporating these approaches into a curriculum in which, ultimately, learners engage in a common task where each individual depends on and is accountable to each other. 
This collaborative effort by ESP specialists and researchers from the iTECLA Project approaches educational innovation by combining: 
– English for Specific Purposes, resulting from the firm embedding of English as the lingua franca in business, economy and international trade in an ever-increasing globalised world. 
– Virtual Exchange, the practice of engaging classes of geographically dispersed learners in online intercultural exchange using internet communication tools for the development of language and/or intercultural competence. 
– Collaborative Learning based on the learners- efforts to engage in tasks undertaken and resolved collaboratively, capitalizing on one anothers resources and skills. 
– Digital Storytelling, a short form of digital film-making that allows students to recreate a story relating to their field of study, based on the combination of the art of telling stories with a variety of digital multimedia, such as images, audio, and video. 
– And Problem-based Learning, which fosters learning through solving an open-ended problem relating to the learners- field of study, posed by the instructor for the development of skills that will be used in the learners- future practice. 

The book is particularly useful in higher education contexts where students are traditionally stimulated to become autonomous learners, capable of actively setting the foundations for making sound and meaningful progress in their learning goals.

The technological advances in recent decades have had an exceptional impact on the model of society causing what can be considered a true «revolution», which is both social and cultural and economic and legal.
In particular, the Internet has made possible the birth of a new «civic habitat» that creates new opportunities for people to exercise their rights and freedoms in a space that knows no boundaries or time limits. Nevertheless, the Internet may also represent a new source of risk for the individual and his rights, thus giving rise to new challenges for their protection.

Therefore this work seeks to address, as its title indicates, the challenges raised by the Internet and new technologies in relation to human rights.

TRADUCCIÓN.

Los avances tecnológicos de las últimas décadas han tenido un impacto excepcional sobre el modelo de sociedad que causa lo que puede considerarse una verdadera «revolución» tanto social como cultural, económica y legal.

En particular, Internet, ha hecho posible el nacimiento de un nuevo «hábitat cívico» que crea nuevas oportunidades para que las personas ejerzan sus derechos y libertades en un espacio que no conoce fronteras ni límites de tiempo. Sin embargo, Internet también puede representar una nueva fuente de riesgo para el individuo y sus derechos, dando lugar a nuevos retos para su protección.

Por lo tanto, este trabajo trata de abordar, como su título indica, los retos que plantea Internet y las nuevas tecnologías en materia de derechos humanos.
