Learning Language by Videoconference

July 2, 2008 | |

Here’s a video about students in the UK and China learning (and teaching) languages with each other via videoconference. It’s another example of using interactive whiteboards alongside videoconferencing. (See previous discussions on this here, here and here.) (Thanks Roxanne for this link.)

    I teach Stage 6 Beginners Japanese via video conferencing and smartboard links (using Bridgit). I am the sole teacher at both campuses.

    I am teaching across 2 campuses this year and am loving it!

    Students are enjoying this style of learning and it is having a positive impact upon achievement of outcomes.

    We have also made a class PB wiki page to enhance the experience of cross-campus learning. We upload all our resources, official stuff and important links. Students communicate this way with me between classes.

    I would love to think more and more people will take on this option of teaching languages as it makes sense, and is lots of fun. It is agreat way to ensure lanugage learning stays alive.
