This paper is devoted to the encouragement of students’ independence and motivation through interactive tasks, which are used in videoconferencing (VC) environment, the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and social media tools for creating a community of practice communication within which authentic and meaningful tasks and activities in multicultural ESP and EAP classes can be carried out. It focuses primarily on tasks, which work both in an intercultural virtual classroom and a standard, homogeneous class. Samples of end-of-course feedback reflecting students’ experience, and their personal and professional feelings of achievement at the end of the course are also included in the text.
