This document provides an overview of emerging trends in language learning using three lenses: mobility, open educational resources, and digital connectedness. It discusses how language learning has been transformed by increased mobility through history from animal transport to modern air travel. Open educational resources and the rise of the internet have increased access to information and opportunities for online collaboration. Advances in digital technologies now allow new forms of virtual mobility and connection between learners worldwide. The document speculates on future developments in these areas and their implications for reinventing language education.

Digital connectedness

50. Tim Berners Lee
“So how do we plan for a better future, better for
society?
We ensure that that both technological protocols and
social conventions respect basic values. That Web
remains a universal platform: independent of any
specific hardware device, software
platform, language, culture, or disability. That the Web
does not become controlled by a single company - or a
single country”

58. Approaches to change
• Retro-movement
Let’s return...to the order of the past
• Defenders of the status quo
Just keep going, carry on regardless, grounded in
the mainstream of scientific materialism
• Advocates of individual and collective change
Break the no longer appropriate patterns of the
past and tune into our highest future possibilities
– and being to operate from that place...?
4th July 2013 Over the Horizon GillySalmon 58

59. Working with emerging futures
1. Upward connection
Connecting to inspiration, sparks of intuition and
intent
2. Horizon connection
Listening to the feedback from the context
3. Downward or local connection
Engaging in and learning from locally embedded
fast-cycle connections
From Scharmer 2009 p,213

60. Changing ourselves: Quantum leaping
“Don’t confuse existing forms with the functions
that they enable. It’s the functions that
matter. Forms may be transient, the product
of historical or technological circumstances”
John Naughton 2009
