Abstract
As members of a nationally accredited research project InterMED being carried out in the field of intercultural mediation, we are aware of the mediator's delicate role in communicative interactions between health professionals and foreign population. For this reason, Mónica Olivares Leyva and Carmen Pena Díaz aim at informing learners enrolled in English for Physical Therapy at the University of Alcalá about the importance that nowadays immigration has in public health settings and the role that mediators play in these contexts. This objective can be attained with the help of class blogs, a web 2.0 tool available at the Blackboard online platform, whose teaching and learning uses are currently being researched by the teaching innovation group FILWIT in the framework of the ALCES project. The interdisciplinary spirit guiding the present teaching experience strives to show that students can learn a foreign language at the same time as they come into contact with multiculturalism in public health services.
