FLICKR GROUP . Here you can see photos from the event .



Week 1 - Introductions

This week, we will be meeting each other and introducing ourselves. You are also encouraged to sign up for the accounts for the online tools we will be using in the course: our community site (http://tlvw.ning.com) and Second Life. If you have had no experience of Second Life, you should complete the orientation this week. Once you have provided us with your Second Life name when signing up for Ning, one of the moderators will send you an invitation to our Second Life group (the group name is 'TLVW10') .

Week 2 - Exploring Education and Virtual Worlds

This week there will be field trips to different educational spaces in Second Life and discussions. The choice of these spaces will be guided by the overall character of this course, as well as participants needs. As the core theme here is teaching languages, we will visit arts & humanities oriented places in Second Life, rather than those relating to sciences. In each case there will be ample time for discussion and feedback, as well as participants' own reflections on the places visited. Participants will be encouraged to visit some places individually, and then provide feedback to the group by blogging about their experiences on the tlvw10 community portal on Ning.


Week 3 - Second Life and Languages

This week will be spent visiting areas in Second Life where different languages are spoken. This will include Real Life places that are represented in Second Life as well as places where languages are taught. The overall aim is for everyone to have an initial idea of how Second Life can be used / is being used for language learning, teaching and practice both informally and formally.

There will be guided tours of some Real Life places in Second Life where we will try some language activities. Then, you will be given a list of landmarks to more such places, which you can explore in your own time. We will visit the British Council Isle and find out about their work in Second Life. There will also be a tour of an interactive Mexican town, which is a nice example of how learners can interact with scripted objects. All of these places can be used in a synchronous formal session with a teacher but also informally by students, who can practise their language skills and learn vocabulary on their own.

Week 4 - Teaching a language in Second Life

An introduction to different methodology, tools and places where languages can be taught and learned in Second Life.This week the specific focus will be on organisations and individuals who are teaching languages in Second Life. There will be opportunities to observe some language classes and discover the challenges involved in teaching in a virtual world . Among other places, there will be an arranged tour of Ciudad Bonita, a Spanish town run by Language Lab, one of the companies most active in Second Life language teaching. There will also be an opportunity to find out more about the work of AVALON, a European Union funded project examining best practice for language teaching and learning in virtual worlds.

Week 5 - Do It Yourself! Workshops

Teaching Participation/Practice - participants will be encouraged to put their knowledge into practice and arrange to teach each other in 15 minute slots. Guest speaker. Participants will also have taken part in a synchronous meeting, participated in a Business English lesson in AVALON and another in the Spanish village in LanguageLab, have posted snapshots of their particpation on flickr, have written a blog entry and participated in two discussions on virtual worlds, other methods of E-learning and Real Life v. Second Life language learning and teaching.

Week 6 - Evaluation & wrap-up
