10 Years of the LLAS ELearning Symposium by Kate Borthwick,Erika Corradini,Alison Dickens Pdf

This e-book is a celebration of and reflection on 10 years of the The Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies (LLAS) elearning symposium, an event which is run by the Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies based at the University of Southampton, UK. (LLAS) was founded in 2000 as one of 24 Higher Education Academy subject centres. Over time it has built a reputation for providing support to the wider languages, linguistics and area studies communities through its regular conferences, workshops and innovative projects which provide professional development and networking opportunities to teachers in the higher education and school sectors. More recently it has also become a successful enterprise unit within Modern Languages at the University of Southampton, which works in partnership with universities around the world to deliver bespoke professional development courses or develop collaborative projects. This ebook is structured around four sections. Each section begins with an invited contribution and contains articles related to the broad thematic area introduced in the invited piece. This structure deliberately reflects the alternation of keynote plenary sessions and talks which has been the distinct format of the elearning symposium in the past ten years. The book is aimed at practitioners and as such recounts real, practical experiences of innovation in using technology in language teaching or professional practice. The authors' work is based in research, but they all present lived examples of excellent practice in action. The range of projects and case studies presented in this e-volume is a testament to the irrepressible creativity of language teachers in their adoption of technology to achieve their pedagogic aims.

e-Learning Excellence Awards 2015: An Anthology of Case Histories by Dan Remenyi Pdf

The call for case histories was announced in 2014 and 60 submissions were received, describing on an outline basis what was achieved with these ap-plications of e-Learning. There were 36 interesting examples described in these abstracts which were invited to forward a completed case history. The panel of experts then chose 12 case history finalists who were invited to present their work at the 14th annual European Conference on e-Learning at the University of Hertfordshire at Hatfield in the UK in October, 2015. As can be seen from the Contents page, the topics presented range widely, as was expected when working with a subject like e-Learning. It may also be observed that the entrants come from many different parts of the world. The competition requires the 3 best to be chosen and it is clear that the judges will have a challenging task to select the winners.

Using digital resources to enhance language learning – case studies in Italian by Rosalba Biasini,Anna Proudfoot Pdf

A group of Italian language tutors attended sessions dedicated to Italian language teaching and learning that were included in the SIS Biennial Conference in 2015. Following the conference, the group suggested that a publication of the proceedings to mark the first of these meetings would be a useful resource for all language tutors. To five of the original papers presented in Oxford, another three were added in order to include a range of ideas and experiences in one publication.

Intercultural Communicative Competence for Global Citizenship by Marina Orsini-Jones,Fiona Lee Pdf

This work builds on the assumption that language learning and teaching needs to be made more relevant to the 'glocalised' digital world we live in. Its authors argue that staff in Higher Education (HE) must prepare students for effective online interaction and explores the digital, linguistic and critical intercultural components of ‘global citizenship’. The book pivots around an innovative research study; linguistic politeness frameworks are revisited to analyse the written online exchanges on an Online International Learning (OIL) - or intercultural telecollaborative - project between the UK and France.Through the use of cyberpragmatics, and inspired by Meyer and Land’s ‘threshold concept pedagogy’, the authors examine the challenges and solutions identified by an ‘expert student’ in managing rules of engagement and intercultural awareness when interacting online. This book will appeal to students and scholars of applied linguistics, education, sociolinguistics and intercultural communication, and provide a valuable resource for teacher trainers, language teachers and educators across the world.

Ab Initio Language Teaching in British Higher Education by Ulrike Bavendiek,Silke Mentchen,Christian Mossmann,Dagmar Paulus Pdf

Drawing extensively on the expertise of teachers of German in universities across the UK, this volume offers an overview of recent trends, new pedagogical approaches and practical guidance for teaching at beginners level in the higher education classroom. At a time when entries for UK school exams in modern foreign languages are decreasing, this book serves the urgent need for research and guidance on ab initio learning and teaching in HE. Using the example of teaching German, it offers theoretical reflections on teaching ab initio and practice-oriented approaches that will be useful for teachers of both German and other languages in higher education. The first chapters assess the role of ab initio provision within the wider context of modern languages departments and language centres. They are followed by sections on teaching methods and innovative approaches in the ab initio classroom that include chapters on the use of music, textbook evaluation, the effective use of a flipped classroom and the contribution of language apps. Finally, the book focuses on the learner in the ab initio context and explores issues around autonomy and learner strengths. The whole builds into a theoretically grounded guide that sketches out perspectives for teaching and learning ab initio languages that will benefit current and future generations of students.

Contextualised open educational practices by Jako Olivier,Charlene du Toit-Brits,Byron J. Bunt,Amit Dhakulkar Pdf

This book covers original research on the implementation of open educational practices through the use of open educational resources at the university level. The emphasis on open education in this book is on contextualising resources, supporting student agency and fostering self-directed learning specifically within a South African milieu. The envisaged chapters cover conceptual and review research and empirical work focussing on open educational practices and the use of renewable assessments. The work starts off with an overview of an institutional-wide open education project that prompted the research followed by research on open education in terms of various modules in the health science, music education, law, philosophy, dietetics, anthropology, French language learning, journalism and political science. There is a clear gap in the literature on open education in terms of open educational practices, specifically in terms of contextualising resources, supporting student agency and fostering self-directed learning in a South African context. Despite the existence of some general works on open education in terms of policy, social justice and open textbooks, this book will be unique in exploring the intersections of openness, specifically with contextualisation, student agency and self-directedness.
