I've just had a paper accepted to *Language Learning & Technology *about online strategy instruction to support ESL vocabulary learning at tertiary level. It was a feasibility study of a course I developed to teach composition students an integrated form of dictionary skills and language awareness. The course was based in Moodle and featured multimedia tutorials combining short videos (most 3 minutes or less) interspersed with a variety of practice activities. Because of logistics, I wasn't able to look at how the online learning could feed into classroom activities and vice versa, but that remains an objective. I agree that a series of video lectures probably won't match up with the goals of a communication-oriented language course. The more important point is that online materials could be used for aspects of L2 learning that often get bumped from the syllabus due to limited class time or other factors, and so flipping the classroom might represent a framework for researching complementary forms of instruction in which CALL and classroom teachers play to each other's strengths. If the Google Hangout happens, I'd love to take part. -- Jim Ranalli Postdoctoral Research Associate Applied Linguistics and Technology Program Ross 319 Iowa State University Ames, IA 50010 ************************************************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning Technologies (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
