    Did you get to try it out at all? What do you think? I haven't seen this used in the FL setting before.

    Maybe I missed it, but did it say how much it was to print the books?

    A great way to provide students with the opportunity to be creative.

      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.

    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.

    This article is about England but has some good tips for beginning to engage students using social media. It also shows that other countries struggle with promoting the importance of FL learning too.

    This blog provides facts about the influence of new technology in society and it engages instructors to be updated and open to new ways of teaching. It also provides some examples on how we can engage our students to learn languages through the use of social media. Carlatech17

      I think this is something that we forget about on the virtual stage: we can still observe through body language and backgrounds about culture and cultural differences.
  • The students not only get to talk to one another but also can see how their partners react to questions, how they look, and how they live.
  • “It’s not knowing only a language,” he says, “but also knowing how to behave and acknowledge differences—cultural differences, behavioral differences.”

    I like this article even though it's from 6 years ago because it talks about the benefits to teletandem communication. I hope you are able to read it because it's from the Chronicle of Higher Education and you might need to sign up.

    It sounds interesting but I can't read the article because it prompts me to log in or create an account. I've always been interested in what I call "The cultural dimension of FL teaching".

education online challenges carlatech20

  • Online distance learning is impersonal and has the potential to violate personal privacy. Even a matter as seemingly straightforward as turning on web cameras can raise difficult questions: Are cameras needed to humanize the lesson? Do they force an uninvited intimacy, revealing the realities of students’ and faculty members’ living situations?

      I'd love to hear debate on this in particular. Cameras on or off?...
  • greghutcheson on 23 Jul 20
     
    Important ruminations for instructors at urban public universities who are moving to online teaching. (Not specific to FL teaching per se, but it's well worth our bearing some of these caveats in mind....)
