Uses of a virtual classroom in the teaching
The document discusses the use of virtual classrooms and the internet in teaching English as a second language. It outlines several benefits, including increased student motivation through interactive activities, exposure to authentic language from native English speakers online, and fostering global awareness by connecting students worldwide. While some teachers are hesitant due to technological skills or time investment required, surveys show the main barrier is fear. E-mail projects are highlighted as a way to improve writing and reading through dialogue journals between students and teachers, communication with electronic pen pals, and participating in discussion groups.
Project Overview 10/7/11
Certain groups of students have smaller vocabularies than peers, impacting reading and academics.

The website targets middle school students struggling with unfamiliar words, seeking to motivate independent and classroom learning through adaptive content.
Thinking of using OER?
This document discusses the positives and negatives of using open educational resources (OER). The positives are that OER promotes equity and access for students, allows for pedagogical experimentation, provides a structure for sharing resources online, and gives students a sense of ownership over their learning. However, the negatives are that free resources can be low quality, there is debate over whether online or print is better for learning, there is a stigma around free quality, developing OER takes extra time to find supplemental materials, and not all disciplines have many options. Overall, the document weighs the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources in the classroom.

Computer-assisted lessons motivate LD students and allow them to practice listening, reading, writing and speaking skills required for exams. Online learning communities also help LD students learn collaboratively while gaining exposure to the target language. Various apps and programs are presented that develop literacy skills for struggling readers. The presentation demonstrates how technology can enhance LD education.

Reading for life - Matsumoto JALT PAN-SIG Conference Presentation
This PPT accompanied a presentation given by Joseph Dias and Gregory Strong at the JALT PAN-SIG Conference in Matsumoto Japan on May 21, 2011 in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
As most of our students now are digital natives who prefer YouTube to Hugo, Facebook to Fitzgerald , and Twitter to Twain, it’s difficult to have them attend to texts longer than status updates. The speakers will discuss ways of inviting students to become lifelong learners by making reading relevant.
The speakers discussed the groundwork for a reading curriculum revision project in an English Department of a Japanese university by presenting the results of their investigation of current teaching practices, along with an exploration of all aspects of their students' reading: both in the L1 and L2, online and off, mobile and static, for pleasure and required, current and projected. The project began with a thorough needs analysis (Brown, 1995; Richards and Rogers, 2001) that involved focus groups, classroom observation, and the administration of online surveys to students, reading teachers, and upper division content course instructors. Particular attention was focused on how reading instruction could be made relevant to digital natives and how the practice of reading could be made into a habit and carried beyond the temporal and physical confines of school life.
Reading as a process of development
The document outlines the stages of reading development from early childhood through college. It identifies 6 stages: reading readiness, beginning reading, a period of rapid growth, a period of refinement, learning how to read, and listening and speaking vocabulary. Each stage builds on the previous one and progresses from simple to more complex skills. Development is influenced by personal maturation and social/educational demands. The stages involve acquiring basic sight words and sounds, oral and silent reading, vocabulary building, comprehension, and higher-level skills like research, note-taking and analytical reading.
Balanced literacy reading program
1) The document outlines Kristine Malia's balanced literacy reading program for 4th grade students.
2) A balanced literacy program combines explicit instruction, guided practice, independent reading and writing daily based on student needs.
3) The program includes components like phonics, reading strategies, vocabulary, comprehension, literature, writing and spelling instruction delivered through experiences like shared reading, read-alouds, and guided reading groups.
