Résumé
The aim of this paper is to describe a new online course organised by the English De-partment teaching staff at Salamanca University and lecturers at Colorado State Univer-sity in Pueblo, USA. Using an historical event as the participation of American brigad-ists in the Spanish Civil War, an online course with a new learning-teaching approach has been developed. The course aims to improve the participants¿ intercultural and communicative competences in English as well as their IT skills. This new course also seeks to respond to educational policies backed by the European Space for Higher Education. They recommend that the changes in methods of transfer-ring and acquiring information are taken into account and that academic alliances are set up with other foreign universities in order to exchange experiences and points of view.
