Recast and prompts in second language classrooms - 4 views

  •  
    Hi Jessica, thanks for this article. Actually, I have been reading a lot about error correction lately, so it caught my eye right away. Any special reason why you chose it?
  •  
    Hi Violeta, When teaching languages I think we need to read a lot about how to correct our students errors, and how to have them self correct. I have used some techniques, but since last week I realized that there is more outside to research. Check this one.. is good! Tarone, E. and Swierzbin, B. (2009). Exploring learner language. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

The Committed Sardine - Digital Diet Small Bytes - 2 views

  • free resource to you
    • Carol Petersen
       
      I love free resources and I also love help to remember how to do something "techy". Once I have used a tool several different times, I am good to go. However, the first couple of times, I always need my reference.

    Resource guides to some common digital tools, all in one place!
  •  
    I'm all about free resources! I especially like that there is a free Prezi guide b/c my students have to use Prezi for some of their projects, including one on the final exam, and it's tough for them if they have never used it before. That guide could really help in their understanding of how to use this tool.

Computer-Mediated Communication | Foreign Language Teaching Methods: Writing - 4 views

  • Research has shown that CMC: can help increase students' motivation to learn the foreign language, lower their anxiety, increase their fluency in the target language, lead to improved intercultural competence and democratize classroom communication.
    • vivianfranco
       
      I agree with this author's idea. In my teaching experience using CMC to teach language, I can notice my students' progress i the target language. They express their motivation and even introvert students are more open to share their ideas.
  • Keep in mind that students who study languages with different orthographies may encounter specific difficulties during CMC sessions. Be prepared with creative solutions, such as suggesting computers and keyboards that accommodate the characters your students need.
  •  
    This is a really good suggestion Vivian! It is always nice to have plan B especially when using technology!
  •  
    The author says that CMC helps in all of these areas, but doesn't provide any information about his sources. I think this shows the value of including links to other websites in blog posts about education!

Week 2 - Activity 3 - CARLA Tech Online - 1 views

  • B. Install the “Diigolet” into your browser  (Due Thursday, July 16)
    • Marlene Johnshoy
       
      Now I can add a note and save it to the group. It should show up in the Diigo group page list of posts - with a colored bar alongside the note, or a little post-it note icon.
  •  
    If you are seeing this with the Chrome Extension - I'm discovering that there is no way to share your highlights and post-it notes with the group. Go back and install the Diigolet - instructions in Week 2!

About Google Scholar - 0 views

  • Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.
    • anonymous
       
      We often tell our students to avoid doing research online and to go to the library. However, we should be encouraging both. The issue with online is credibility of source. Students need to practice determining which are scholarly sources, worth of paper citation, and which are not.
  • Search all scholarly literature from one convenient place Explore related works, citations, authors, and publications Locate the complete document through your library or on the web Keep up with recent developments in any area of research

      All of these actions need to become second nature for our students

    • Anne Dixon
       
      Instead of constantly reinventing the wheel, I love to see what other World Language teachers are doing in their classrooms. This article has some good activities that can easily be converted to any language.
    • Anne Dixon
       
      I really like this VoiceThread "did u know?" about cows.  Any topic can be used to encourage students to present information about the photos.

Mirroring Project - 2 views

  • Mirroring Project:
    • lars3969
       
      Colleen has presented on the Mirroring Project in some of my classes. It seems to have impressive results for international students' pronunciation and presentation skills.
  • Step 1: Identify major pronunciation challenge
    • lars3969
       
      This is the "before" video for an international graduate teaching assistant.
  • Step 2: Choose appropriate model
    • lars3969
       
      Typically, students choose a TED speaker whose style they want to emulate.

  • Step 4: Mirror the original recording.
    • lars3969
       
      The goal here is for the international student to copy the TED speaker as much as possible. They should think about pronunciation, intonation, stress, and gesture.
  • speaker with strong non-native rhythm and intonation patterns.

      I don't know how to un-highlight. Oh well!

How to Use Media to Enhance Teaching and Learning - 2 views

  • social media can also be used to enhance teaching and learning and it includes varied online technology tools that allow people to communicate easily via the internet to share information and resources.
  • demonstrations focused on contrasting cases help students achieve expert-like differentiation
  • Start small. Find one movie, song, or news source and incorporate it into your class. Expand once you are comfortable. Provide a clear link between what you want your students to learn and the media. Care must be taken provide the proper learning context. It takes time to integrate media effectively into a course. This is not edutainment, it is the conscious use of media to enable students to learn more. Use the subtitles feature for visual media. This is especially useful in focusing student attention on the words being said. Be prepared. Technology does not work 100% of the time so have a back up plan. If the media equipment does not work, go to plan B and continue on with your class without missing a beat. Evaluate student understanding. Students respond to incentives. If you require them to write a reaction paper, take a quiz, or place questions on your exams that relate to the media content they will pay more attention and learn more in the process. Stay legal.
