What is the best way to encourage learner autonomy for our 21st Century teenage learners? Perhaps Second Life, with it's richly visual environment can be used to appeal to these "Digital Natives" (Prensky, 2001) and promote this? In this presentation, we will outline the British Council's open access project in the Teen Grid of Second Life, which aims to engage both native and non-native speakers of English, bringing them together in a space that utilises discovery-based and game-based learning activities as well as more formal methods of learning.
