Introduction

European Community Directives

“Ability to Communicate”

Skill-based Information Exchange

“Work in group”

Communication through

Collaboration

“Use of ICT”

Technology-Enhanced Language Learning


Conventional Learning Environments

Conventional Language Learning

Passive (Receptive) Skills ReadingTextbooks, newspapers, novels,

etc Listening:Multimedia (Audio & Video)

Active (Productive) Skills Speaking:

Face-to-face Communication(Pair work, conversations)

Writing:Writing exams, exercises, letters (rarely) no interactive activities

Traditional Classroom Inside the Classroom,

Books (textbooks, workbooks, notebooks)BlackboardPen & paper

Limited access to information

Face to face communication

Not much technology - only audio: tape, video

Communicative approach based on simulation


Software Programs:Diskettes:

Adaptation to CALL Computer-based(CALL) environment

ComputerLabs full of PCs (Hardware)

Delivery of contents (Software) Printed Digitized

material Activities Grammar Drill exercises (repetition)

and practice tutorials


CALL InteractionReading WebQuests

"A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet“

IsabelPerez.com & WebQuest.org

Listening & Watching Video

SpeakingEnglishSkills.com

No Writing

Improvements: Motivation Access to Information Self-assessment

Drawbacks Interaction only with the

computer Not active use for

communicationin Writing & Speaking

Result: Computers support the language learning process

No communication in real time, students work in isolation


CALL evolution on the Net: LMS

eLearning environments: Learning Management Systems

A repository of content & resources

easy access to information. (distance education)

Include shared space for communication (Chat, email, discussion lists,

…)

AULA Foundations Web-based learning by communicating

by collaboratively writing in a ubiquitous environment.

AULA (A Ubiquitous Language Appliance) Infrastructure: Small devices spread over the classroom & at home/work

TELL ubiquitous environment Accessible in class, from work, anywhere anytime

Active Skill: Individual/Collaborative Writing on the Web Sample Scenario: The AULA New Technologies Assignment Activity: Writing a text to explain the impact of ICT. Pedagogical innovation: Writing evolves from an evaluation

technique to an authentic communicative learning technique based on a social activity (Scenario-based Writing).


Methodology (I)

Collaborative writing process

Planning: (1st stage) The teacher establishes

the task as a Scenario: an online newspaper, a project report…

The students / participants propose titles for the texts

They generate ideas by brainstorming or freewriting

They outline & organize


Methodology (II)

Collaborative writing process.

Development (2nd stage) Discussion session on notes

(ideas) with communication tool

the Chat facility

Writing the notes into sentences & organizing them into paragraphs with language tools:

Lexical tools (Dictionaries and Lexicon).

An image searcher (Google). Access to information online


Methodology (III)

Collaborative writing process. Edition (3rd stage):

Revision and final edition. Collaborative correction.

Using both chat & language tools

Teacher’s assessment: Analysis of students’ trace file Analysis of the chat file of every text.

Easy checking for plagiarism or

for cheating


eLearning Scenarios:

Skill-based Writing Tasks

Developing the writing skill to achieve authentic tasks:

scenario-based communication with a purpose, for an audience, in a possibly real context.

Contributions to eLearning Learning a language through Communication by Writing on the Web

In an apparently conventional classroom

Taking notes and writing in their electronic notebooks

Paying attention to the WhiteBoard and to the teacher

Evolving to a collaborative ubiquitous classroom

Everything (technology, information & communication tools) is accessible

from anywhere at any time (with an Internet Connection)

adapting the ICT to the classroom

Facilitating the Collaborative Writing Process
