Language teaching in Second Life - 2 views

  •  
    Exploring 3D virtual worlds like Second Life to provide simulation of real life environments and allow students to discover more creative and more realistic ways to improve their language skills.
  •  
    I've also seen proposals to do professional development with teachers through Second Life. They could actually practice responding to different scenarios in this virtual world. It seems like it would be a ton of work!

Report Assesses ELA Programs In-Depth -- THE Journal - 0 views

  •  
    I have not heard of any of the 9 programs chosen to review - so if they're free, I'll be checking these out "for improving reading and writing in the classroom." They were English Language Arts (ELA) teachers, but could have use for second/world language instruction as well.

100 Inspiring Ways to Use Social Media In the Classroom - OnlineUniversities.com - 5 views

  • Ideas for K-12 Classrooms
    • Kathryn Kerekes
       
      All of these are great ideas for a content-based language classroom!!! I already plan to do a few of them. Now if only our school would unblock these sites, at least for teachers...
    • Abby Bajuniemi
       
      This could be really helpful for my linguistics students, who often have no idea how to find literature!

  • Find scientific research papers
  • Have fun at conferences. If you are attending a conference, give BackChatter a try–a game that uses Twitter and makes attendees interactive participants.
    • Marlene Johnshoy
       
      I've done this at conferences - a great way to get notes from one session while you're in another.  And a way to plan where to meet up for dinner! Teachers in lecture classes use Twitter as a "back channel" for students to use to ask questions and discuss while the lecture is in progress. Oh, I see this is mentioned in the "Community" section below...
  •  
    I think this Blog is rich with possibility for utilizing social media for the teaching of a second language. Students so much into social media and they also get motivated by change in ideas and activities. The variety of possibilities that this blog offers provides a teacher with a good resource that would work for various language levels.

      I like how the video conversation shows the highlightings to guide you which phrase or words they are speaking..
  •  
    Here, native Mandarin speakers teach you Chinese as a second language. Audio and transcripts are available on the website. The lessons also place an emphasis on understanding Chinese culture.

Modality of input and vocabulary acquisition - 4 views

  • This study examines the effect of input modality (video, audio, and captions, i.e., onscreen text in the same language as audio) on (a) the learning of written and aural word forms, (b) overall vocabulary gains, (c) attention to input, and (d) vocabulary learning strategies of beginning L2 learners.
  • Multimedia, that is, a combination of print, audio, and imagery, has been argued to enhance input by making it more comprehensible (Plass & Jones, 2005).
  • The use of multimedia is also advocated because (a) it allows for the provision of authentic input and thus exposure to target culture, (b) it motivates learners, and (c) it accounts for students’ different learning styles (Brinton, 2001).

  • The results suggest that for beginning learners with better reading than listening skills: (a) captions facilitate recognition of written word forms, while audio facilitates recognition of aural word forms; (b) more word meanings are learned when videos are shown with both audio and captions than with either audio or captions; (c) participants think they pay most attention to captions, then to video, then to audio, but they consider video to be the most helpful; some participants have difficulty attending to all three modalities; and (d) the meanings of some new words can be learned from very difficult authentic videos when the language is well-supported by visual images.

      I chose this quote because these results suggest that multimedia sources are tools that can be useful to attend different students' learning styles (some students learn better through reading, others through listening, others through making connections with images). Besides, it provides evidence of the effect of media sources on language acquisition which is also linked to authentic material. This quote also presents the difficulties that media sources can generate in those students who are not used to manage information presented in diverse modalities at once.
  •  
    This article presents a research about the effects on integrating multimedia sources on second language vocabulary acquisition. The researchers exposed the language learners to different stimulus: video with audio and captions, video with audio, and video with captions and compare the results to analyze their effect on language acquisition.

Elisabeth Murphy: Online synchronous communication in the second-language classroom (20... - 2 views

  •  
    I have no annotation because I exceeded my limit :-( But here is the gist: This is a report from a design experiment using synchronous online communication for learning French. The problem: Canada' Core Language program for learning French as a second language resulted in a great number of students with "minimal abilities" to communicate in French. In search of a solution: to use synchronous online communication. Quoting White 2003:"the benefits of using web‐based, real‐time (synchronous) interaction and communication as follows: it is spontaneous; it motivates learners who develop a sense of community and gain energy from the group; it offers opportunities for peer feedback; and it supports the development of interactive competence.

How tablets accelerate the ease of learning a foreign language | TabTimes - 0 views

  • This might be the French Yelp, the Spanish-version of Craigslist, or the Japanese-language weather app.
  • there is also a slew of applications designed specifically for independent language learning, but these are not representative of the push for task-based instruction in higher education
  • Well-designed apps provide intuitive interfaces that help you anticipate the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary terms.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Was the app designed for and by native speakers of the language you’re learning?   2. Does the app have any inherent utility or practical purpose? 3. Would you download an equivalent app in English? 4. Will using the app help you achieve something or inform your decisions? 5. Is the application well-suited to your interests or needs?
  • Acquiring a second language can be expedited by selecting applications that align with personal or professional interests.

A series of links to guides to using Evernote - 0 views

  •  
    The second tab is for teahers' use of Evernote. It appears it is a tool for assembling student media into a project.
  •  
    Much as I like diigo, our school uses evernote. This should help me adapt as I try to integrate evernote more in the coming year.

Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Ways Students Can Create Audio Slideshows - 1 views

    • Isis Shawver
       
      There are some great resources in this article that I plan to explore!
    • MariaEmicle Lopez
       
      I will share these resources with my students for them to explore for their final presentation on work with Community.
  • Somewhere between a PowerPoint presentation and a full-fledged video is the audio slideshow.
  • To create an audio slideshow on Narrable start by uploading some pictures that you either want to talk about or have music played behind. After the pictures are uploaded you can record a narration for each picture through your computer's microphone or by calling into your Narrable's access phone number.

  • UtellStory is a service for creating and sharing audio slideshows. To create and share your story through UtellStory you can upload pictures, add text captions, add audio narration to each slide, and upload a soundtrack to support your entire story.
  • a good tool for students to use to bridge the gap between slideshows and videos. Animoto makes it possible to quickly create a video using still images, music, and text. In the last year Animoto has added the option to include video clips in your videos too.
  • Hello Slide is a tool that you can use to add voice narration to slides that you display online.Hello Slide is different from services like Slideshare's Zipcast (which requires a paid subscription) because instead of recording your voice you type what you want the narrator to say.
  • Present.me is a handy service for recording video and or audio to accompany your slides.
  • Animoto's free service limits you to 30 second videos.
  •  
    I do audio slideshows as an end-of-semester project in my level 2 class, but I have only ever used PhotoStory. PhotoStory is loaded on our language lab computers so that students do not have to register or create any types of accounts. These resources seem to be just as easy, however
