  1. Languages of the Wider World CETL Research Workshop 28th November Sharing Ideas and Inspirations for the Digital Language Classroom

  2. Why did you decide to use technology? Students are used to communicating in a networked multi-media environment Students learn in different ways through listening, writing, seeing, speaking – these can be integrated using web-based media Using different technologies and media allows for a varied learning experience Students have access to authentic target language “texts” – and they know how to navigate in a standard internet-environment Students have access to our course work from home – and may continue “producing language” outside the classroom Various media and software allow for a focus on process in learning as well as products

  3. What activities have you set up/carried out with new technologies?

  4. Social Networking in the class room

  5. A student Moodle profile

  6. Students are blogging

  7. Students are chatting

  8. A Moodle dictionary in first-year Danish

  9. Grammar exercises are more fun with Hot Potatoes (and students can go back to improve or revise)

  10. Hot Potatoes cross-word puzzle

  11. Speech-logs Using Audacity students record their spoken language; they record words, phrases, expressions or improvised speech diaries. They are also asked to read aloud from a text they have written. - Students monitor their own progress and focus on pronunciation, which is quite difficult in Danish. Internet-based activities Students find information on a website containing images, sound and/or video and find vocabulary, answer questions etc. based on work-sheets I have prepared. - ex. Plan a trip to Copenhagen Culture Night using the online programme and an online journey planner. Interactive Whiteboard

  12. Cut-’n-paste vocabulary Using interactive whiteboard Watch or listen to sport news – write down the sports mentioned Using pictures and text to apply vocabulary? Hvad hedder han? - Han hedder Kasper Hvidt. Hvad laver han? - Han spiller håndbold. Hvor spiller han? – I Barcelona.

  13. Thoughts – Evaluation Students are enthusiastic about learning when we use the available technologies in Language Space – they push to learn more words and phrases to communicate, especially when chatting or writing blogs. Students make interesting observations that I could not have prepared when we “lift” vocabulary from “authentic” websites – this often leads to interesting discussions about cultures. I would like to find better ways of working with spoken language and verbal communication (either recording or “skyping”) – I would like to improve my “speech logs” as well. I would like to find out more ways in which students can create presentations (visual, auditive, textual) as part of their learning – I am still at a point where I am creating and the students find or provide information (Hot Potatoes, PowerPoint, Podcast etc.) Since much of this is new to me, I am still trying to find out how best to sequence (scaffold) the different exercises and activities.
