Abstract
The present teaching case looks at how a social constructivist approach to language teaching can support students of industrial engineering in developing an effective communicative behavior which allows them to demonstrate authenticity in their second language. A specifically designed methodology mix of blended learning activities, including role play, poetry reading and reflective writing tasks, encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and adopt a playful and proactive attitude towards reaching their communicative goals in different social and corporate settings. Like this, students start to realize that exhibiting effective communicative behavior is a choice which requires an excellent command of the foreign language and the ability to decide which facet of one’s personality is best to be revealed to whom and in which moment.
