Editor's Notes
- Noise: „hello“, not content related talk Strucutre: necessary – get used too, students generally use it in their spare-time => different approach You may noted it: reading -next text arriving, maybe different topic, even if not for younger pupils problem not yet learned typing techniques All about structure
- Good topcis are a) controversial b) taken from the every day life of the students, e.g. school, hobbies Or c) A lack of information to be filled, certain interest to ask questions 5-6 active users maximum to really talk about the contet and to have a a course of action to be followed.
- Special tasks: one on one situation: talk about your hometown, get information about school life etc. afterwards presentation and comparison of results in classroom.
- Online chat = text based VC = spoken and images
