31. Suggestion for Virtual Campus experience for ESOLlearners (put forward by Kate Hills April 2012). Steve Kennedy. The idea would be that the learners are on foot in a small town. In addition to the many language practice possibilities just in this situation (reading signs – pedestrian/traffic, following directions to particular places/buildings, asking for and understanding directions, etc.), the tutor would direct them to whichever building is relevant to a particular lesson’s subject area (e.g. a supermarket for Shopping, a bus station for Transport, a doctors’ surgery for Health,etc). Once the relevant building is found and entered, the learner would be given a virtual experience of the language needed in that situation. Necessarily, I think, this would include some intermittent non-virtual practice activities (such as the ones currently available) in order to advance and consolidate learning and thereby ensure the learner gets the most from this virtual experience. After each of these non-virtual activities, the learner – now equipped with the necessary language/language forms – would continue their virtual journey. You can see just from the initial ideas I have put together that there are useful natural overlaps in which previous learning can be applied/assessed. Also, Embedded Learning and Functional Skills lend themselves easily to this virtual experience. All could be extended to higher or lower levels (i.e. basically the same experience but with differentiation to meet learners’ different levels).
