Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. ‘ Knowledge Society’ is undergoing tremendous changes and this has a great impact on business and industry field but even more on education. The arrival of internet and especially of the new era of web 2.0 social technologies
  2. have changed dramatically the way we communicate and we get the information.
  3. Learning became a more fluent and natural action. They were really motivated and full of enthusiasm and excitement . The dynamism that Edmodo had brought into this particular Italian language classroom after the first month of use has been strengthen even more now after these activities. Further analysis of the results of this project will be made in a future paper.
  4. the focus of this paper will be exclusively on the use of a microblogging service as a tool that can promote an enjoyable way to learn Italian language through play
  5. a) First micro-activity example: ‘digital stories’ Each group had to visit utube and flickr to make a little research and find one video and one photo related to the Italian culture. The teacher proposed some keywords such as cucina italiana , feste italiane , etc to enhance students’ research. Based on the material found each group had to create a story. What was a really interesting and suspenseful side in this activity was the fact that each group after has found the video and the photo of its preference had to start a story and post everything to the group indicated by the teacher, in order to continue and finish the story in its turn. The group that could publish first in the classes’ microblogging space ‘incontritaliani 2’ would be the winner of the game.
  6. b) Second micro-activity example: ‘Film scripts’ Each group had to choose a scene between several scenes of five famous Italian films proposed and published by the teacher at the wikis’ class. The purpose of the activity was to write the subtitles of the scene chosen. After the creation of these imaginary dialogues using the microblogging tool the teacher published the dialogues at the class microblogging space and then made the corrections needed giving explanations to the students in private or public messages. The activity was concluded with the performance of the scenes by the students and then followed, first, the screening of the original film scenes and, second, the votes for the best script creation by the students. The goal of the activity was to practice basically the oral skill through the creation of these script-dialogues in a spontaneous way as if they were ‘acting’ in real life.
  7. c) Third example: ‘Italian music’ Each group had to visit Utube and find the video of one of the five Italian songs proposed by the teacher and then post it to the class microblogging space. Every group had to watch the video that has chosen and then write and post the verses of the song. The group that would have finished first the activity would be the winner. After this students could visit the class blog and find the music site italianissima.net [ Visit: http:// www.italianissima.net / ] where they could explore a database of many famous Italian songs and find the verses of their songs and correct them. The activity finished with the students singing the three songs. In this case two of the students were musicians and played also the guitar. The goal of this activity was to practice mostly listening and comprehension skills.
  8. d) Fourth example: ’cartoon based story’ In this activity students worked all together and not in groups. The teacher gave out to them a story based on photos of cartoons designs and each of them had to write the dialogue of each photo of the ‘cartoon heroes’ every time it was his/her turn. The story was corrected and posted in the class microblogging space. The goal of this activity was to practice mostly oral skills and the common goal of all these activities was the enhancement of motivation, participation and collaboration in the participants.
