This dissertation presents a virtual environment specially constructed with resources to aid in the communication between speakers of different languages, aimed at enabling interaction in textual environments between pairs or groups of people, within learning communities that do not have a common language. In this environment there is a digital agent (or bot) that uses communication strategies to assist the interlocutors in the understanding of messages in foreign languages, and may also define technical terms, regionalisms and expressions according to dictionaries and services used. The environment resources were focused on synchronous interactions, but can also be used in asynchronous interactions with some adaptations. In addition to supporting such communication between speakers of different languages, interactions are stored for research on the effects of agents, strategies, and resources on communication
