Two regional education centers will share technology-mediated models used to provide equal access to Chinese programs. Southern Oregon ESD will share an interactive video conferencing model and will outline steps to starting a similar program. Video examples from K–5 classes and Chinese culture experiences used to enhance instruction will be featured. WSWHE BOCES will share a hybrid
model used to support a K–12 extracurricular program — including curriculum and asynchronous
activities — that offers a similar level of instruction to traditional programs. The curriculum model and asynchronous activities will be introduced. Participants will be encouraged to increase access to
Chinese language programs by using powerful technology tools.

Telecollaboration, lingua franca communication, and speaker satisfaction kohn...Kurt Kohn
Telecollaboration environments provide language learners with rich opportunities for natural and authenticated communication. Web 2.0 tools from blogs to videoconferencing to 3D virtual worlds are used to form new social environments for collaborative creation, sharing and exchange. Real-life communication has thus expanded into virtual space with unprecedented possibilities for natural and incidental language learning outside and beyond the traditional classroom. Against this backdrop, my presentation touches on the following topics:
- Reaching out beyond the traditional classroom
- Success in lingua franca communication
- Speaker satisfaction and communicative success
- Pedagogical implications
- TILA: “Telecollaboration for Intercultural Language Acquisition”
- TILA sessions in OpenSim and BigBlueButton
- Case study: ELF conversations 2.0
- User experience: pupils and teacher students
- Initial conclusions
Kohn 2018_ELF - From research to pedagogy_RELC Conf 12-14 March 2018Kurt Kohn
The evolution of research on English as a lingua franca (ELF) is characterized by three major paradigm shifts from ‘variety’ to ‘communicative use’ to ‘translanguaging practice’. These shifts are accompanied by pedagogical suggestions for ELT, which all have in common that they are generally met with suspicion and resistance from ELT professionals (e.g. “Do you want me to teach incorrect English?”). In my talk I will address this conflict between ELT and ELF with the aim of reconciliation. From the perspective of a social constructivist understanding of language learning and communication, special attention will be given to a reconceptualization of Communicative Language Teaching focusing on three issues: a creatively open pedagogical orientation towards Standard (Native Speaker) English, speaker satisfaction as an endonormative criterion of communicative success, and implementation of English (or any other target language) as a pedagogical lingua franca. Results from pedagogical research projects in the European secondary school context will be used to discuss the pedagogical potential of telecollaboration for involving learners of English in authentic intercultural communication and thereby helping them to develop an emancipated non-native speaker identity and thus to become speakers of English.

FanTALES: A Needs Analysis for Multilingual Digital Storytelling Tasks in 21s...Shannon Sauro
Presented May 19, 2017 at the CALICO Conference in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA
Shannon Sauro
Frederik Cornillie
Judith Buendgens-Kosten
This study reports on the findings of a needs analysis, carried out within the context of the FanTALES project, which explores whether multilingual digital story-telling inspired by fanfiction and gaming can meet the linguistic, digital, and intercultural learning needs and goals of secondary school learners in three European contexts (Sweden, Flanders, and Germany). Findings, relevant for teachers and instructional designers, hold implications for the development of guidelines for the design multilingual digital storytelling tasks to foster advanced language and literary learning, digital skill development, and intercultural competence among these learner populations.
The presenters elaborated on the effectiveness of teaching with thematic units, and of making connections with other disciplines such as art, science, social studies, and physical education. Two real-world examples — Chinese ceramic art and silk-making — were presented; one is for K-8 while the other is at the college level.
