      I think this is a great way to bring popular culture into the classroom.  TV shows provide a more authentic representation of language than educational videos.

      I agree we need more than one tool to learn any language.

    A little off-topic for Week 5 but overall relevant to this course.

    I hope we can learn how to introduce games online. For me this hard to do , but I think it be very effective for students to learn FL.

    I like to use games in teaching but for me it is hard to design one in class and online.

    "The use of technology is not a goal in and of itself; rather technology is one tool that supports language learners as they use the target language in culturally appropriate ways to accomplish authentic tasks." This quote stood out to me and it is so true. sometimes we feel pressured to use technology but we forgot the pedagogy purpose.
  • vivianfranco on 14 Aug 17
     
    Thanks for sharing it. We are using technology for our language lessons. I agree what ACFLT says about having clear that tech is a tool not a goal since the most important aspect is the learning.

      I love the way UC Davis has the week split up. I'm wondering if they run into students with conflicts with the synchronous schedule? How much coordination does it take? How many hours is the instructor putting in on Thursdays and Fridays meeting with students? I love the idea, just need to see how it works in practice.

      I agree that this would be great, but logistically can be hard especially at lower-levels where so much repetition and practice is needed, particularly with grammar structures.

      It is true that more students do tend to "fall through the cracks" in online classes. A short workshop that preps them for success in online classes would be ideal. If not, we should address it in the courses themselves.

    This describes a really good setup for an online language course!

    Seems pretty formulaic - so a good place to start!
