If you would like to reflect on the issues in designing and developing
online language teaching and at the same time study online learning by
learning that way yourself, then you may be interested in the University
of London Online Education & Training course, which incorporates a special
strand for language teachers.
It deals with general issues of language teaching
online including social networking,
with regular practical tasks, and has a choice of optional topics on
using the internet to enhance internet teaching. These are expected to include
* online discourse and moderating
* computer-based assessment
* mobile technologies
* real-time teaching by phone, text, video-conferencing, or SecondLife
* blogging and podcasting
The next start is 9th March 2009. We suggest you register as soon as
possible.
The course carries 30 UK credits towards either a masters or a diploma and
can be taken by 10 weeks distance study online.
The fee is £Stg 654, which can be paid by bank transfer, credit card or
instalments. A cheaper auditor registration is also available if you do
not need the credits.
