LLU was started in 2005 as a place for people interested in language learning and technology to come together and discuss, ponder, or complain about teaching and learning languages in the 21st century… On any given K-16 campus there may be one (and just one) person who supports the teaching and learning of languages. While our fellow language faculty know and appreciate and respect our work, quite often our colleagues throughout the rest of the campus have absolutely no idea what we do, or how we do it. As a result, we often labor alone at our schools, and yet we crave the ability to connect with others who are in similar jobs, facing similar concerns.
My name is Penny Coutas and I am an EdD Candidate in the School of Education. My research involves exploring the use of ICTs for learning and teaching Languages in Western Australian government high schools. My main research website is at http://www.exploringthehyper.net, which should be up and running shortly! I'll be posting interesting websites, tools, and resources to this blog as I come across them during my studies at Murdoch.
