TeCoLa Virtual World meets eTwinning

Gepostet am: Jan 17, 2019 10:32:34 AM

To all eTwinners!

Don't miss this opportunity of exploring how the Tecola Virtual World can be used for pedagogical lingua franca communication.

Please join me in my eTwinning Live event

Kurt Kohn, "Engaging foreign language students in intercultural virtual world activities"

on 22nd January at 5 pm CET.

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Drawing on our TeCoLa project outcomes, I will address the pedagogical need and challenge to enable foreign language students in secondary schools to develop intercultural communicative competence in their target language.

We will explore and discuss solutions that make use of small-group interactions in the TeCoLa Virtual World. Intercultural communication is combined with a pedagogical lingua franca approach according to which students from different countries and cultures engage in authentic communicative interactions in their common foreign (target) language.

Attention will be given to integrating TeCoLa Virtual World activities in existing eTwinning projects.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR eTWINNING COLLEAGUES--- MANY THANKS
