WEB 2.0 AND LANGUAGE LEARNING

Sunday 1000 - 1045

The web 2.0 is an innovative tool for education that is changing the
21st century process of teaching. Not only its potential is limitless but
also its social and behavioral power. Creativity, participation and
collaboration are some of its key elements. But there are more. This
presentation will explore the endless possibilities that Internet has for a
language teacher. From online comics to free broadcasting tools and
flash animation sites. Teachers will turn into online creators.

 Aims

The main aim of this presentation is to give the best online

resources for language teachers in order to create their own
materials and activities. Its practical objectives are
structured into 50 sections. Each section contains the most
representative websites to use in 2009/10.

In order to gather all this information we have used two main

online sources. The first one is the e-learning newsletter
from the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). The second
one is from The Centre for Learning & Performance
Technologies by Jane Hart.1

There are however other objectives we have to take into

account:

1) To raise teacher awareness of the digital learning

revolution.
2) To encourage teachers to combine the traditional way

of teaching with the web-teaching methodology.

3) To present the endless possibilities Internet offers to

enrich Language teaching
