This document summarizes a research study on informal second language learning through social networking sites. The researcher aims to map out best cases of informal L2 learning on social networks, examine how opportunities for L2 use and learning are constructed, investigate the sustainability and effectiveness of social networks for long-term learning, analyze the affordances and constraints of current social networks for L2 learning, and design guidelines to improve social networks for L2 learning. A mixed methods approach including virtual ethnography, social network analysis, and interviews will be used. The researcher expects the study to provide insights into personal learning environments and how to better support learner autonomy and interaction quality on platforms.
Keynote slides from Segundo Coloquio Nacional de Educación Media Superior a Distancia, in Mexico, 2011, discussing the dance and coevolution of technologies (including pedagogies) that has led to the emerging connectivist model of distance learning. The presentation looks beyond this to a holist model of distance learning that embodies collective and set entities as well as networks and groups.

Challenges in Defining, Designing, and Measuring “Digital Literacy” Developm...Rebecca Reynolds
This presentation discusses scholarly definitions for the research construct “digital literacy,” identifies limitations in conceptualizations to-date, fand presents a proposed framework of Six Contemporary Learning Abilities (or 6-CLAs: Create, Manage, Publish, Socialize, Research, Surf). This explicated framework offers a more structured definition based on student-centered social constructivist learning theory. The article then presents an empirical investigation of digital literacy development, drawing on the framework, and its proposed approach for operationalizing technology activities (whether as research constructs or instructional activities). The empirical analysis is situated in the context of an innovative educational program implementation of game design based learning for middle and high school students offered in a U.S. state, in the 2011/2012 school year. The study explores how student engagement in activities representing the 6-CLA dimensions factor, inter-correlate, change from pre- to post-program, and bring about student transfer of that engagement, from school to home environments. Findings reveal that the dimensions proposed hang together well, students change in their engagement as a result of the intervention across multiple dimensions in both school and home contexts, and at-school engagement in the dimensions contributes to at-home engagement in them (in various ways as reported). The study offers support for the proposed framework, provides some evidence of digital divide effects for the intervention, presents questions for further inquiry, and offers a conceptual and research design stake in the ground for other researchers interested in the digital literacy construct.

Similar to Social Networking in Second Language Learning (20)
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

4. Learning in the Web 2.0 Era (Chatti, 2007) FEATURES OBJECTIVES It is multifaceted , complex, chaotic and requires a plurality of opinions, ideas, inputs Up-to-date knowledge. What is incorrect can be corrected through a bottom-up process Learning is "to come to know" and is an ongoing process Make choices and decisions is learning Technology helps learning Ability to identify patterns and connections ( intelligere ) developing critical skills Networks contain knowledge Responsibility and independence to discover and know more is more important than what you currently know
5. Connectivism is the new learning theory of the digital age. According to it, learning takes root in a system of bottom-up interconnections that foster the knowledge flow (Siemens, 2004)
6. An important learning skill today is to “ synthetize and recognize connections and patterns ” (Siemens, 2004:3)
7. Under the conceptual framework of the connectivist paradigm, where learning is a process of forming connections among nodes, MOTIVATION is what determines connections and at the same time is enhanced by being receptive to these connections. (Siemens, 2005)

9. Social Networks are Communities of Practices (CoP) where spontaneous relations, conversations and behaviors arise among people who share common interests and topics and whose learning motivation is spontaneous. Social networking favors self-narrative and conversational practices and, as a consequence, self-reflection and meta-cognitive skills . (Pettenati & Ranieri, 2006).
10. Social Networks are Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) (Siemens, 2006; McLoughlin & Lee, 2007)
