Abstract
The paper reports on the progress made by second-year university students enrolled in the Foreign Language degree course at the University of Messina as regards their use of online tools when exploring specialised video genres, in particular journalistic genres that disseminate scientific information. Through first-hand experiences undertaken with students using the OpenMWS platform (http://openmws. itd.cnr.it/), for the construction of video corpora, the paper describes the ways in which participation in the 2020 OVP (Online Video Project) has proved beneficial for the students in terms of acquiring textual competences and creating interactive communities during the 2020 lockdown.Pubblicazioni consigliate
