This paper aims at reporting the experience, assessing the results, and interpreting the educational implications of offering a complex blended discipline as part of a university English Language Course that has a traditional orientation. The mentioned discipline was taught by a teacher/designer who, grounded on the complex educational design, coped with the institution’s requirements to achieve the students’ needs, expectations, and interests, as well as with the goals of the subject. Among the educational repercussions presented, the findings of this pilot study open up the discussion as to what extent it is worthwhile to include a complex discipline in a traditional curriculum.
