E-Learning technology and digital ethnography for language learning in the modern classroom

https://doi.org/10.3233/Abstract
A pilot course was developed for foreign language students with the aim to enhance their ability to practice their listening, speaking and writing skills outside of regular classroom settings. The course engages students in cooperative learning and involves online learning pedagogies. Furthermore, students as well as faculty apply ethnographic methods to observe and learn from each other. This method affords the teacher the opportunity to access the learning progress of the group as well as the individual student. Methodologies are reviewed and logistical obstacles encountered are acknowledged.Riferimenti bibliografici
