  3. Languages are learned: with lots of practice! through active expression from authentic sources through interaction at different rates by different students

  4. Language learning requires: TIME Image downloaded from: IMG]http://www.morguefile.com/data/imageData/public/files/f/faustfoundation/preview/fldr_2008_11_02/file0001346822207.jpg[/IMG]

  6. …and the facilities in which to learn… to practice… to collaborate with other learners… to solve problems… to create with the language… Listen…read….speak…..communicate!

  7. How can we provide this?

  8. A NEW state-of-the-art Language Learning Laboratory!

  9. Language learning with technology: (Frommer, 1998)

  10. Our existing language laboratory: 24 student stations Teacher’s console Headsets and tape decks Photo credits: Sarah Viets May, 2009

  11. In our language lab we can: Some stations have microphones that do not work. • do paired student dialogues • Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dickysingh/697144439/ Students cannot control the device. • view DVD or VHS videos BUT Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trondjs/2403303001/ • complete CD and tape listening activities Not all the headphones work. Students cannot control the device.

  12. There is a lot that we CANNOT do!

  13. Our existing language laboratory: 4 sets of headphones do not work Teacher’s console – frequently freezes and must be shut down and restarted. 2 monitors do not work = only 18 fully working stations No keyboards! NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE Photo credits: Sarah Viets May, 2009

  14. STUDENT control over their own learning: Use of software programs

  15. Preparing our students: • Subject content • Global understanding • 21stcentury technology • 21stcentury skills • Experiences • Application Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/muffin9101985/3185622240/

  18. Performance Assessments: Students can: • produce text documents. • research and present on cultural topics. • record spoken language individually, in pairs or groups. • receive teacher or peer feedback. • access wide variety of media from stations. • work collaboratively to produce any of the above.
