This presentation addresses a key challenge in digital language education: how to design and deliver scalable, pedagogically sound distance learning using the native tools of Moodle, without depending on Artificial Intelligence (AI). It introduces a microteaching-based course format, English Boost Live, developed within Moodle, showing how a structured LMS ecosystem can support high-impact, learner-centred instruction. This approach exemplifies integrated language training, blending synchronous and asynchronous elements with scaffolded, collaborative, cognitive and communicative tasks. The course combines some of Moodle’s asynchronous tools with live sessions via BigBlueButton (BBB), following a weekly cycle grounded in Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). The format fosters engagement, learner autonomy and metacognitive reflection, focusing on learner needs and participation, motivation and relevance. Course design and modular learning objects (LOs) align with Bloom-Anderson’s Taxonomy. The model suits diverse learner profiles and has been replicated at different English levels, with plans for other languages. It supports a glocal vision for lifelong language education through scalable, customizable, and impactful training.
