FREE WEBINAR FOR NOVEMBER 7, 2017
Talking Abroad: Web-based Videoconferencing with Native Speakers
This webinar is for educators interested in integrating authentic synchronous communication with native speakers worldwide through web-based video-chat. I will start with an overview of existing research, as well as the advantages and limitations of different available platforms, both free and paid. I will then discuss a specific multi-step project in an intermediate-level Spanish course, involving four conversations with native speakers through the platform TalkAbroad. I will also present the results of a questionnaire administered at the end of the project, reflecting the students’ perceptions of the experience. Preliminary implications for best practices are drawn based on students’ responses.
