In our paper, we propose that intermediality and participatory culture are intertwined concepts that are both part of the digital world. By using Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as a pedagogical framework, we argue that digitally mediated tasks can be beneficial for the EFL classroom while at the same time including aspects of intermediality and participatory culture. In the last part of the paper, we present task examples that tackle this issue and were tested in the EFL classroom.
