This paper reports a case-study that proposes the use of animated pedagogical agents (APAs) in a Brazilian Portuguese web-based course built under a mix of task- and scenario-based approaches. Its main purpose is to discuss how APAs can be used to improve students' communicative skills, cultural awareness and level of interaction with course's content. %G English %2 https://telearn.hal.science/hal-00257120/document %2 https://telearn.hal.science/hal-00257120/file/198_Final_Paper.pdf %L hal-00257120 %U https://telearn.hal.science/hal-00257120 %~ TELEARN %~ TICE %~ TEL
