12 Top Tips for Teaching on Skype - Lindsay Does Languages - 2 views

  • My absolute essential for “real life” teaching is a whiteboard. Obviously, this is tricky to use via Skype. Thankfully, I discovered Twiddla! It’s an online whiteboard tool that you and anyone who you share the link with can see and edit at the same time. Perfect for awkward explanations you just can’t do with words and emoticons!
    • danielhkarvonen
       
      Another interesting tool!
  •  
    It would be a great tool if you teach on Skype. But after having learned about Zoom, I would forget about Skype. Zoom has so much more to offer and it can be free if you use it in 40 minute increments.

      This is important for schools that don't have good internet connection.
    • danielhkarvonen
       
      And also for individual users who may be at home. My home connection is fairly slow, and Zoom worked great for me.
  • A great selection of annotation tools, so you can share your screen, and then write and draw on the screen like a real whiteboard.
  • Easy process to record classes.
  •  
    These language instructors prefer Zoom over Skype and other video conferencing tools.
  •  
    Wow, Off2Class and Zoom make a great combination! And what a powerful resource Off2Class is for ESL teachers--one-stop-shopping for lesson plans!

Attitude and Self-Efficacy Change: English Language Learning in Virtual Worlds | Zheng | CALICO Journal - 1 views

  •  
    "This study explored affective factors in learning English as a foreign language in a 3D game-like virtual world, Quest Atlantis (QA). Through the use of communication tools (e.g., chat, bulletin board, telegrams, and email), 3D avatars, and 2D webpage navigation tools in virtual space, nonnative English speakers (NNES) co-solved online content-related problem quests with native English speakers (NES)."

"Role of CMC-Embedded Webquests in Enhancement of Online Students' Know" by Radhika Lothe - 1 views

    • anonymous
       
      So many students are so thrilled when you start talking about Germanic culture with them--as if they've been starving for it all along and are just waiting for those insights! Using some asynchronous and some classroom-based synchronous activities could be an excellent way to provide some of this information while concentrating in class on grammar, vocab, etc.
  • Findings emerging from a constant comparison method analysis indicate that the CMC-embedded webquests played a significant role in advancing the online students' knowledge and understanding of German culture.
  • students appreciated and enjoyed learning about the target culture in way that they retained the information even two months after they were completed
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • they valued the opportunities provided by the two CMC-embedded webquests to interact with their respective group members in asynchronous and synchronous modes of communication.
  • synchronous online discussions evoke a higher `sense of community' and `groups', `sense of purpose' for online learners
  • higher frequencies of `Praise/ Encouragement,' `Task Regulation,' and `Challenge,' in asynchronous `e-turns' demonstrates that distance learners are able to produce more cohesive and detailed responses in asynchronous online discussions
  • culture, an often neglected aspect of FL instruction

Online synchronous communication in the second-language classroom | Murphy | Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology / La revue canadienne de l'apprentissage et de la technologie - 2 views

    • Marcie Pratt
       
      Have not thought of using synchronous tools before in my language classes until I took this CARLA class. This paragraph helps explain why they are useful.
  • "low anxiety situations, containing messages that students really want to hear"
  • White (2003) highlighted 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.
