The 2007 MLA’s report called for a complete overhaul of the FL curricula to effectively respond to challenges posed by the conditions created by the world’s increased globalization. In the last decade, many scholars emphasize the multiplicity of languages, of genres, and of modalities present in any given social context, and advocate a pedagogy that puts this  multiplicity at the center of the curriculum. This paper will provide a brief  theoretical background view of a multilingual approach and will suggest how such approach might fulfill these educational needs.

Examples of multilingual and multimodal teaching practices using Wikis aimed at involving the  linguistic resources of Romance language speakers attending Italian language classes at College level will be described.
