Online Language Learning (eBook, PDF)

Tips for Teachers

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

"Given the sudden recent surge in online learning, this book will be extremely helpful to anyone teaching foreign languages in universities. Based on the experiences of the authors and written by teachers for teachers, the chapters centre on practical and digestible tips for integrating online technologies and materials into teaching procedures and academic practices."

-Professor Paul Seedhouse, Director of ilab:learn, Newcastle University, UK

"A distinctive feature of this interesting book is that it is based on teaching languages and cultures other than English so will be useful to a broad range of language teachers and teacher trainers (including ELT). I particularly recommend the book for MA students but it could also be a springboard for research into social media for language teaching."

-Dr. Aisha Walker, EdD Director, School of Education, University of Leeds, UK

This book provides tips and guidelines for teachers and learners of modern foreign languages in higher education institutions, drawing on the authors' experiences of teaching languages including Turkish, Japanese and Korean to suggest strategies and approaches that promote effective use of the online environment. As well as shedding light on modern languages that are typically under-studied and under-represented in the literature, this book demonstrates how the online sphere is increasingly fundamental to language use, change and contact. The authors provide practical guidance to help teachers and learners capitalise on the opportunities presented by a virtual educational context, and offer a more resilient blended approach that will increase teachers' and students' preparedness for changing circumstances and institutional priorities in the future. This book is primarily aimed at teachers and students of foreign languages within HE settings, but its focus on new perspectives will also be of interest to scholars researching the online shift in language education, applied linguistics, curriculum design and educational technology.
