Foreign Language teachers take note of this website. A web 2.0 community site called "Cucumis" is harnessing the collective intelligence of the multi-lingual community for the purpose of translating text online. It is a way for linguists to help each other out. The way it works is that one gains points when one translates a text and you need points to submit a text to be translated. One gets promoted to expert when one accurately translates numerous amounts of text.I could see learning activities in an online or f2f foreign language course in which students are required to earn so many points a week for doing quality translations. Any other ideas?
