What am I not?

Why does this matter?• My main goal is to enhance my students

LEARNING of the language –The technology is just an added bonus.

• All tools I will show you are EASY to use and can be used in the classroom on Monday morning

The Most Important “C” Communication

Communicate in Languages Other Than English

• Standard 1.1: Students engage in conversations, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions. (Interpersonal)

• Standard 1.2: Students understand and interpret written and spoken language on a variety of topic. (Interpretive)

• Standard 1.3: Students present information, concepts, and ideas to an audience of listeners or readers on a variety of topics. (Presentational)

Barriers to Speaking in the Classroom

• Individual student practice – students do not speak enough

• Pair activities – students off task, hard to monitor and correct errors

• Presentations – take days of class time and other students are not engaged

How can Web 2.0 tools assist in getting students to speak?

Save class time and still keep an audience

• All students can speak at once in a lab and it can be presented on a website, blog, or wiki for an authentic audience

• Students can do speaking activities at home with a microphone or telephone and you can listen to them at your convenience
