Abstract	The Four Skills News Project is an example of communicative language learning, developed for final year German students at the University of Liverpool. It focuses on how students use and practise their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills via the creative use of news reports and digital technology. Each student creates an avatar using an interactive platform, practicing speaking and correct pronunciation with the help of autocue and thereby enhances his or her language learning experience. Through listening, writing and their own research, students also practise their translating skills. In the final stage of this project, students present their own news item and this also gives them the opportunity to practise their presentation and speaking skills using autocue. Students are filmed and get valuable feedback on their performance in addition to having done something completely new and different that is fun in their final semester at university.
