The document summarizes a study on the International School Project (ISP), a telecollaboration project between schools in multiple countries. The study examined benefits and challenges of the ISP for students and teachers. It found that the ISP helped improve students' digital literacy and intercultural understanding, while also increasing teachers' technology skills and knowledge of project-based learning. However, challenges included limited English skills, technical issues, and different school schedules between countries. The study concludes the ISP allowed learning benefits but recommends clearer project structures and sustained relationships between participants.

Luganda language is one of the indigenous languages spoken by people of Uganda. Out of the 45+ indigenous languages of Uganda, Luganda is the most widely spoken with more than eight million speakers (Namyalo, 2013). Although Luganda is a fairly well documented language, and while it is being taught as a subject of study at some education institutions in Uganda, many young learners of this generation are slowly detaching themselves from its study (LTA, 2014). The need to address this challenge is urgent. Otherwise, many young learners of this generation will continue to detach themselves from the study of Luganda. When this challenge is not addressed, Luganda language will lose its continuity and risk becoming extinct. The larger study from which this paper emerges aimed at cultivating teacher-trainees’ experiences of utilising emerging technologies (ETs) in teaching to revitalise Luganda language.

Autonomous Learners' Communication in Practice: Single and Dual Language Virt...engedukamall
Hagley, E. (2014, September). Autonomous Learners' Communication in Practice: Single and Dual Language Virtual Exchange. Paper presented at the meeting of KAMALL Annual Conference 2014, Seoul, Korea.
[Abstract]
There are many reasons people choose to learn a foreign language. Chief among
them is to communicate with people from other countries. The U.S in particular,
but also many other countries, are putting considerable effort into linking their
students with students in other countries so they can communicate using the
power of the Internet. By doing so they are breaking down cultural and social
barriers that impede communication and mutual understanding, which are the
building blocks of successful economic development and peace. The English
language, in particular, gives learners the opportunity to participate in online
exchanges, as it is the language which is generally spoken around the world.
However, autonomous learners often can't safely find others who want to practice
with them. Of course there are options available such as Facebook and Skype but
these can be problematic, with privacy and safety issues abounding. Language
teachers want to offer their students a safe and reliable place to use their English
in real world situations, not just with classmates, but with people from other
countries too. How can they do this? With the advent of the WWW it is much
easier to accomplish.
This presentation will outline two means of opening up the standard classroom to
the world and giving autonomous learners the ability to use the language they
are studying in a number of real world settings. The first method is via Single
Language Virtual Exchange (SLVE). This is where all students participating in the
exchange are English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students and thus learn English
only. They use it to interact with students in other countries who are also
studying EFL. Examples outlined in this presentation include students in Japan
collaborating with students in Vietnam and Colombia. The model used, the many
benefits, along with some problems and a number of outcomes of the exchanges,
will be presented and discussed.
The second means of Telecollaboration to be described is the Dual Language
Virtual Exchange (DLVE). EFL students in Japan work on projects with Japanese as a Foreign Language (JFL) students in the U.S and Australia. This type of exchange
could, of course, be used in the respective countries with Korean or Chinese as a
Foreign Language students too. As with SLVE, DLVE has both benefits and
limitations, which will also be discussed.

Methods: Participants
Recruitment of participation
Thirteen elementary schools from six different countries (i.e., Canada,
China, Republic of Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia and Bangladesh)
participated in the ISP.
Initial qualifications of participating teachers: one is active, motivated
in using ICT, confident in communicating in English, and willing to
participate in the project.
Since only five schools from Canada, China, and the Philippines
submitted their pre- and post-survey responses, the results will be
discussed mostly based on the data from Canada, China, and the
Philippines.

Results: Benefits for Students (1/2)
Digital literacy
a) Essential learning skills (e.g., observation skill, question skill and science
skill in the learning process; self-directed learning; ICT literacy; critical
thinking and inquiry-based learning; 21st Century skills),
b) Skills for communication and collaboration (e.g., learn how to
communicate with others online; proficient in the use of technology
and how to work in a group; how to use cooperation to solve the heavy
and difficult problem; cooperative learning; communication), and
c) Value of cultural diversity (e.g., appreciation of cultural diversity;
(inter)cultural awareness).
13. 2014 AERA Annual Meeting, April 6, 2014, Philadelphia, PA.
Results: Benefits for Students (2/2)
Intercultural understanding
Student's descriptions on what they know about other countries were
analyzed by adapting the “cultural literacy rubric” (Metiri Group, n.d.).
The results revealed that students were still at the basic level of
intercultural understanding. Statements of their knowledge were of
basic concepts (e.g., political events, world trends, flags), basic
knowledge about history, and mostly focused on mainstream
cultures, such as food, clothing, sports and dances.
To view the students' conceptual change of the other countries, their
descriptions were presented visually by using a word cloud
application (http://www.wordle.net).

Results: Benefits for Teachers
Technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK)
Fifteen teachers self-rated their approaches to teaching and learning
in relation to TPACK.
The teachers indicated what they had learned in terms of pedagogical
knowledge (e.g., How to guide students to collect materials in
different ways; How to guide students to get along with each other
during group work; Students' self-monitoring of their own learning is
very important) and technological knowledge (e.g., How to use ICTs,
such as Blog, E-mail, Moodle, Forum, and Skype).
Learning in a professional learning community (PLC)
There was a lack of interaction between the ISP participating teachers
to share their beliefs, knowledge, experiences, and practice-related
issues as a professional learning community.
22. 2014 AERA Annual Meeting, April 6, 2014, Philadelphia, PA.
The ISP provided the teachers and students a meaningful
opportunity:
a) To communicate and collaborate with others from different
countries at different levels;
b) To learn from others with different background, knowledge, and
skills;
c) To use various ICT tools for communication and collaboration as well
as presentation and media production; and
d) To increase awareness and appreciation of different countries and
cultures.
Results: Benefits of the ISP

Results: Challenges for Students
Challenges for students to participate in telecollaboration
activities
a) Limited time for working on the EC
• Limited time for students to spend online as there are restrictions from parents who
think that internet may have bad effects on students achievement.
b) Students' limited English proficiency
• Students cannot use the English learning platform-EC without the help of teachers
or coordinators.
c) Technical problems and lack of skills in using ICTs
• The IT equipments available was not good enough, for example, just opening up
one website may cost several minutes.
d) Disconnected interaction
• The teacher and the students discouraged by the small number of replies to their
postings on the EC groups.
24. 2014 AERA Annual Meeting, April 6, 2014, Philadelphia, PA.
The ISP participating teachers indicated challenges:
a) Different school calendars (i.e., semesters, vacation and holidays)
across countries and schools make it difficult for participants to plan
a timeframe of project activities.
b) Lack of proficiency in English could inhibit the teachers from
interacting actively with other teachers.
c) Technical problems in relation to technological infrastructure (e.g.,
Internet access, availability of computers and/or laptop, and IT
equipments) and ICTs used for implementing specific project
activities related to their TK.
d) Lack of knowledge and skills (e.g., TPACK) in implementing an
innovative approach to teaching and learning in the classroom.
Results: Challenges for Teachers
25. 2014 AERA Annual Meeting, April 6, 2014, Philadelphia, PA.
Conclusions
The international telecollaboration project allowed the
participating students and teachers to gain benefits:
Learn some aspects of curriculum from other countries.
Learn to work with others from different countries and cultures at
different levels
Learn to use ICTs
Develop cross-cultural communication skills
Appreciate one’s own culture and increase intercultural understanding
Recommendations
Clarify participation structures at the project design and planning
stage based on mutual agreements (e.g., curriculum priorities, access
to ICT, English language proficiency, school calendar, and so on).
Build sustained and close relationships among participants.
