Resumen
In this article the emerging field of Language MOOCs (LMOOCs) is presented. Firstly, the MOOC phenomenon is introduced as a revolutionary and challenging model within the related fields of formal education, lifelong learning and non-formal training, and its impact worldwide is analysed in the light of practical considerations. Secondly, the question of the suitability of different subject matters to be taught in the MOOC format is addressed, with special attention to languages. Thirdly, evidence of the presence of LMOOCs in the main platforms and providers worldwide is presented together with that of the existence of related research in the literature and in international congresses, all of which provides a context and a justification to the present text. Fourthly and finally, the contents of this text are briefly described, together with its intended audience and a few final remarks on the foreseeable research directions within the field of LMOOCs.
