Thank you so much, Graham, for making this video. It is very helpful, and I have linked to it in my CALL Online course, where the teacher trainees will be asked to explore several Web 2.0 tools and build their own. Nice work! Christine Bauer-Ramazani

Language learning ... ( 6 months ago by lingosteve)

Language learning in Web 2.0 should enable learners and tutors (senior learners who are helpers)to be equal as producers and consumers of language content and services. This video implies that Web 2.0 is another tool or "activity" for teachers to control students. Classrooms have not been good places to learn languages. Web 2.0 is a chance to eliminate classrooms and make an interactive Web 2.0 world the preferred language learning space for learners and tutors. That is what I hope to achieve.

I agree with you ... ( 6 months ago by bcgstanley)

I agree with you Steve, that Web 2.0 should involve learners in content production and that tools such as blogs and wikis enable this to easily be put into practice. I don't agree that my video tries to say that Web 2.0 is a tool for "teachers to control students" - where did you get that idea from?

"blogging appeals ... ( 3 months ago by prawn1111)

"blogging appeals to language teachers because it can open up classroom walls". i got this far and was violently ill. this is all utter drivel and just another way for pseudo-educators to divert attention away from the glaring fact that they simply are utterly bewildered about how to teach language.

Interesting comment ... ( 3 months ago by bcgstanley)

Interesting comment, prawn - I'd love to know why you don't think letting students communicate to other students through blogs isn't a good way to motivate them. Perhaps you could also let everyone know the best way to teach language as you obviously think you know how to do so.

more 'communication ... ( 3 months ago by prawn1111)

more 'communication' and 'motivation' drivel from the krashen/ ellis etc crew and their bewildered ilk. if you actually taught them how to construct and construe meaning in english they could choose to write their own blogs without needing you to 'let' them. you can cover your classroom walls a foot thick in any nonsense you choose, but it will never compensate for what you are not doing: teaching.

Prawn, as a ... ( 3 months ago by bcgstanley)

Prawn, as a practising English language teacher who does believe he works hard to help learners construct and construe meaning I'm a little bewildered at your comments. I also think the easiest thing in the world is to write a quick negative comment about somebody's efforts and would love to hear / read something more constructive about your own methodology (if it exists that is)...

it's not a negative ... ( 3 months ago by prawn1111)

it's not a negative comment mate. it's a positive comment and i am also positive that your defensiveness lends weight to my hypothesis that you aren't sure that this sort of stuff is effective even though you work so 'hard' on it. lugging sacks of dung up deadend streets is also 'hard work' but whether or not it actually achieves anything is another matter entirely.

i'll tell you what ... ( 3 months ago by prawn1111)

i'll tell you what the easiest thing in the world is. it's to just blindly follow all the drivel presented as 'methodology' in the 'field' of esl and compensate for any lack of progress by the comforting knowledge that u'r working 'hard'. imagine if u wanted to learn another language and ur teacher told u this could be done by doing blogs/role plays/ cloze test/ being 'motivated'/ trying to 'communicate'/ the teacher sticking things on the wall etcx1000. u'd find this absolutely preposterous.

Interesting. I ... ( 3 months ago by bcgstanley)

Interesting. I actually stand by what I've said in the video and the comments here from experience with students and from the experience of other teachers that do the same. I still don't understand why you think it's so wrong to encourage students to communicate with others from different parts of the world using this technology. Or would you rather the students just talk to themselves in a classroom?

I agree to blindly ... ( 3 months ago by bcgstanley)

I agree to blindly follow any methodology is not the right way to work in any field. This comment makes me think you're misjudging what I and others do and our reasons for using this technology with learners. I'm actually still intrigued by your anger and arrogance, though, and would love to find out why you're so sure of yourself and so upset that teachers choose to use this technology with their learners.

i'm not upset. as ... ( 3 months ago by prawn1111)

i'm not upset. as far as arrogance goes it is ur arrogance to claim that this nonsense assists actual learning without providing one shred of data to support your ridiculuous thesis. i have plenty to show that u r wrong and i am right. i am under no obligation to show u this. if u r beating ur head against a wall, i feel it my duty to inform u of ur idiocy, but it does not follow that i am obliged to give u sth better to do. goodbye.

yes, i realise that ... ( 2 months ago by prawn1111)

yes, i realise that most ppl 'actively involved' in eng lang 'teaching' r blowhards who hv no inclination to put in the effort 2 become a better teacher, so yes u r prbbly quite right, i'd have 0 to offer you. if stdnts r taught properly, then they can do their own blogs if they so desire (wht a waste of time anyway). telling s.b. to do a blog doesn't teach them one jot abt a lang, and just bcz u speak english doesnt mean u objectively know anything abt it. good luck with that anyway.
