Meebo is a great video-conferencing tool that can prove beneficial in a language learning environment. Students can be exposed to both native and non-native speakers and become familiar with different accents and ways of pronunciation. Students also have the opportunity to become aware with the corresponding facial expressions, gestures and/or body postures that are involved in oral communication and vary among speakers of different linguistic backgrounds. Meebo provides students also with authentic input and promotes language learning in a fun and interactive way.
