Learning like networks

Learning = diversity of opinions

Connections between fields, ideas and concepts

Personalization of learning

Use of the internet to find answers to problems

Connectivism

CONNECTIVISM Behaviourism + Cognitivism + Constructivism

Proposals for educational innovation

The digital citizen-student

New way of learning:


DISCOVERY

+

PARTICIPATION


The citizens are accumulating "digital wisdom"

New ways of understanding the world through information and participation in the network

Integration of technology in the routines of children and adults

The birth of the Digital Citizen: born with the technology

Proposals for educational innovation

CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning)

evolution of the integration of ict

What's CALL?

"The search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning" (Levy, 1997)

CALL encourages the use of flashcards

Use of cutting-edge software

Importance of multimedia and the Internet

evolution of the integration of ict

CALL in the past

Where has CALL been?

The 3 phases of CALL

Inconsistencies

Phases overlap

1. BEHAVIOURISTIC

2. COMMUNICATIVE

3. INTEGRATIVE

There is no full agreement on CALL implementation dates.

The different phases of CALL overlap. When the new ones emerge, the old ones continue to operate.

Where is CALL now?

Coexistence

The 3 historical phases of CALL coexist

Grammar explicitely
Grammar implicitely
Prefabricated language
Own creation
Judgement and evaluation
Laissez faire
Use of mother tongue
Use of TL
Books
Use in context

INTEGRATIVE CALL

- From cognitive to socio-cognitive view of teaching.


- Integrative approach: use of ICT tools in an ongoing process.


- Disagreement among the authors regarding

the phases timing and characteristics

  • Regarding duration: short and long.
  • Regarding the tasks: repetition, compilation, design, mystery.
  • Treasure hunts: a series of questions and a link to a website where the answer can be taken.
  • Web Tasks: completion of a task using TL resources

INNOVATION & RESEARCH IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TECHING

Most researched topics

INNOVATION & RESEARCH IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TECHING

What types of researches are carried out?

Empirical studies

CALL for L2 learning

Most are "small-scale" studies

They don't last long (1 year max.)

They are preliminary studies - not followed up

For beginners or medium-level students



INNOVATION & RESEARCH IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TECHING

Future prospects

Innovation & Technology are here to stay

There are plenty of researchers on innovation for L2 teaching

CALL has carved out a niche for itself in education

CONCLUSION

The use of ICT tools can improve the quality and attractiveness of the learning process of L2

We need qualified professionals to use these tools appropiately and teach students how to take advantage of them

Both teachers and students need to spend extra time to prepare and produce content in multimedia format.

We need to keep working on how to bring teachnology closer to every classroom
