The Council of Europe promotes the development of multilingual communicative competence, whereas many studies focus on the development of multilingual awareness in children. The main goal of our article is to study the effectiveness of online linguistic resources on the development of multilingual communicative competence, through a cross-linguistic study of several foreign languages. In specific, the necessary linguistic material was retrieved exclusively from free online resources. The survey was held over 117 5th and 6th graders in the Greek primary education. The activities presented the same linguistic content in four, unknown languages to the pupils: Dutch, Hungarian, Swedish and Portuguese. Internet offers very important auxiliary tools for teaching materials’ development for a multilingual awareness, provided that they are not used unreasonably, but in an appropriate way so as to equip teacher with valid teaching material. Analysis of the data received from both the pupils’ answer sheets but also from the verification process of the validity and effectiveness of the linguistic content retrieved from the online tools shows a significant difference between words and sentences’ translation accuracy, mainly regarding online translators with many languages. However, the analysis of the pupils’ worksheets shows relatively high scores, which means that online linguistic resources can be used only in accordance with the learning goals.
