This article presents the design process of a task sequence produced for an English course of the Languages and Arts Program of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Having as its theme contemporary issues in cinema and literature, the sequence was developed around movie adaptations from the Cinderella tale. The tasks were designed from authentic texts with the final production proposed being a synopsis of a movie adaptation from a literary work. The produced tasks seek to create opportunities for both meaningful language use and broadening of students’ transit in social practices that happen in the target language.
