This paper describes a project conducted at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia) aimed at providing distance learners of English as a foreign language with real-time speaking practice. Due to the unfeasibility of scheduling tutor-led sessions, carefully structured speaking tasks were developed which did not require the presence of the teacher and which were to be used by small groups communicating via a synchronous audiographic conferencing tool. The details of the study will be presented, along with an exploration of learner perceptions of the experience based on the results of a questionnaire and semistructured interviews with some of the participants.
