The document describes a study that assessed the effectiveness of using reflective teaching methodology to train pre-service and in-service teachers for online tutoring tasks. The study involved teachers completing an online tutoring course where they designed and implemented online tutoring scenarios. The teachers then used reflective portfolios to evaluate their experiences based on student feedback and research. The analysis found that reflective teaching helped teachers identify areas for improvement like being more proactive, giving clearer feedback, and distributing roles, but that they still needed additional feedback to fully reflect on their practices.
This document summarizes the results of a study on an online course on ICT for English language teaching. The study found that students generally found the course a positive experience and enjoyed sharing ideas and resources online. While students liked learning about tools like Hot Potatoes, they disliked repetitive forum posts. For future iterations, the instructor plans to start with interactive activities, require students to initiate discussions, and explore alternative discussion formats.

This document summarizes an empirical study on using wikis and blogs for cross-institutional task design in language teacher education. The study analyzed student interactions on wikis and Google Wave. It found that while students collaborated effectively, they did not fully utilize the technologies as intended. Students preferred informal communication like Skype calls over the public collaboration spaces. The document discusses challenges in analyzing interactions that can be edited after the fact.

The document discusses a research project that examined the impact of computer-mediated communication (CMC) projects on the development of oral production in a second language for trainee teachers. The project involved French trainee teachers collaborating with English students on developing a multimedia resource. Pre- and post-tests assessed changes in the trainee teachers' oral skills based on linguistic and pragmatic criteria. Results suggested that the CMC exchanges and multimedia project contributed to increased quantity, complexity, and efficiency in the trainee teachers' L2 oral production.

This document summarizes a workshop on using social networks and ICT tools for teachers' professional development. The workshop is part of the aPLaNet project, which aims to help educators create personal learning networks and use technology in practice. Over the course of the workshop, participants will learn about social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Ning, as well as ICT tools for language teaching including WiZiQ, Blogger, Google Docs, and Glogster. By the end, attendees will understand the benefits of a PLN and be able to integrate the presented online resources and social media into their teaching.
