5 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES Interest for language education Virtual platform for online and distance education Complement to face-to-face learning Integration with other LMS (sloodle) Communication: synchronous, multimodal (text chat; voice chat), streaming (sound and video) Creative and representational: Building/cultural artefacts (permanent/non permanent) Performative: Avatar

6 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES AVALON Courses The Debating course (English B1-B2) Business English course (B1-B2) The Italian Beginner’s course (A1-A2) “Alzati e cammina” German for Beginners The Tandem Catering course (Spanish/English) North Sami Teacher training course

7 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES Models for learning Socio-cultural models (i.e. Vygotsky 1978; Lave & Wenger 1991; Wenger 1998) Communicative language learning Collaborative models Learning by doing/Action learning Problem-based learning

8 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES Design

9 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES Design Process What is my philosophy of learning? Why use SL? Practical issues (i.e. institution, access, firewalls, assessment requirements, technical initiation) Pedagogic issues (i.e. tasks, authenticity, teacher’s role) Feedback

10 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES 1. Philosophical Starting Point Is SL the right environment for my course? How do we learn? Do I believe in collaborative models?

11 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES 2. Affordances – What Motivates the Use of SL? How do I make use of SL and its possibilities? Should SL be used in combination with other tools? Do I need synchronous oral communication? How can SL contribute to the learning experience?

12 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES 3. Practical Design Issues Technical and social initiation, instructions, communication, environment, community How do I manage technical initiation? Who are my students? Can my institution handle the technology? What formal requirements are there?

13 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES 4. Specific Task Design Issues Types of task: collaborative, exploring SL, building, role playing What is my role as a teacher? Who are my students? Are the tasks engaging, relevant and authentic?

14 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES 5. Implementation, Evaluation and Redesign Learn from practical experience and ‘tweak’ design Who evaluates? How do I evaluate? How can things be improved? What have I learnt?

15 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES Action Research

16 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES Feedback and evaluation Pedagogical and practical aim Pre-course information/Post-course information Quality control Group discussions, individual interviews, questionnaires Monitoring of students from beginning to end Affective dimension of the learning experience Reflective teaching

17 JTN -3/4 JUIN 2010 NÎMES Common Learning Objectives Learning to use virtual worlds for language learning, both as a tool for communication and a source of information (technical competence/physical space); Collaborating with people from other language and cultural backgrounds in an online environment towards a common goal (social and intercultural competence/social space); Communicating effectively with others in meaningful and authentic tasks (linguistic competence); Acquiring new specific knowledge (i.e. content acquisition).
