APPENDIX A

LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE)

(from the ict4lt.org website)

The following skills list is taken from the ict4lt.org documentation website and it is part of a larger document, available online.

The document contains “can do” lists for different applications, “selected according to their usefulness for teaching foreign languages” and topics of interest, namely: Windows; Word; Browsers; Email software; PowerPoint; Excel; Anti-virus and security software; Web authoring software; CALL authoring software; Text reconstruction software; CD-ROMs and DVDs; CD-Audio discs; DVD-Video discs; Image editing software; Audio recording and editing software; Video recording and editing software; Reference tools: electronic dictionaries and encyclopedias; Concordancers; Translation software; Virtual Learning Environments (Moodle); Interactive whiteboards (IWBs); Discussion lists, blogs, wikis, social networking; Virtual worlds: Second Life; Understanding copyright.

The document is also designed for “ICT trainers, to enable them to identify the strengths and weaknesses of teachers of foreign languages undergoing training in ICT”. This excerpt contained a can do list for Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), i.e. online teaching platforms, in particular Moodle, which is probably the most used VLE.

A piece of software is described through a series of tasks, e.g. “Power Point” > “Align text to the left, right or centre of a slide”.

Users are requested to rate their ability with a piece of software on a scale from 1 to 3; then, they are requested to tick a box to indicate whether they can or cannot perform a particular task. Notice tasks are collected in categories, which vary among the different applications.

APPENDIX B

SIX CRITERIA FOR CALL TASKS EVALUATION

(from Chapelle, 2001)

In her volume, called Computer Applications in Second Language Acquisition (2001), Chapelle defines, among others,1 a punctual and technical model for the evaluation of CALL tasks, which has been very successful in this field. The model presented by the author, resumed among others by Compton for training online language teachers,2 is rather articulated, more than is sometimes reported in later literature, which sometimes is content with reducing it to the six criteria for the evaluation of linguistic tasks (see infra).

The model is proposed in the chapter dealing with CALL3 and (point 1) it takes as its starting point Skehan’s important contribution (1998), which identifies the cognitive4 conditions necessary for language learning within a context of task-based5 language education:

1. choosing a series of target-structures on the grounds of research results and, in particular, according to the principle of learning sequences;

2. choosing tasks which satisfy the usefulness condition. The usefulness condition prescribes that a given form be useful for carrying out a given task;

3. choosing the tasks and putting them into a sequence, in order to obtain a harmonic and well-balanced development among the areas of linguistic production: (a) fluency, (b) accuracy, and (c) complexity;

4. maximising the chance of focus on form. This phrase indicates the shift of attention, during a task (which, by definition, will be meaning-oriented), onto the linguistic form;6

5. increasing learner’s sense of responsibility as to reflection on forms to be used. This criterion is necessary because there is no explicit formulation of the forms to be used in task instruction.

Further on (point 2), a series of principles is defined on how to implement an evaluation of CALL tools and tasks; among these, the need to carry out a double evaluation: before (judgemental analysis), where the software is evaluated and expectancies from the task are defined, and after (empirical analysis), where an evaluation is made as to whether the task has given the expected results. Another principle is that according to which evaluation criteria should come exclusively from research on linguistic appropriation.

These are followed (point 3) by a description of the three evaluation levels: (a) software evaluation, (b) task evaluation (both these being before) and

Page 5: LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ...978-94-6300-477-0/1.pdf · LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE ... then paste into Moodle to

APPENDIX B

188

(c) evaluation of task execution (after). In practice, at level number two a result is theorised on the grounds of linguistic research results, and at level three we check whether the result is the expected one.

The six criteria of the evaluation model are:

1. Language Learning Potential. This criterion indicates in what measure a task is able to foster learning, from an exquisitely interactionist viewpoint (Chapelle, 2009). The level of this potential is given by the number of opportunities, within the task, to promote focus on form as described by Skehan (ibid.)7 (see Skehan’s criteria nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4).

2. Learner fit. The task should be designed so that learners have the opportunity, according to their level and competences, to carry out the task utilising their own resources and develop their linguistic system (see Skehan’s criteria nos. 1 and 3).

3. Meaning focus. The task is meaning-oriented; that is to say, it is oriented to the usage of language to solve real problems (i.e. tasks) and, consequently, the subject’s attention is focused on meaning. When the form/meaning system goes into a crisis, that is, when there is a problem of communication due to the imperfect mastery of a form, we have focus on form, which is one of the factors that determine linguistic appropriation from an interactionist standpoint.

4. Authenticity. This criterion, partially related to the previous one, establishes that the more a task (thence the language used to carry it out) resembles real-life tasks, i.e. situations which may occur outside learning contexts, the greater the motivation and, therefore, the wish to communicate (see no. 20).

5. Positive impact. This criterion collects all the benefits of a task that are not strictly speaking linguistic, for instance metalinguistic competency (cf. Skehan’s criterion no. 5). This criterion actually refers to some aspects, such as socialisation, which, if seen within a historic-cultural perspective, are central.

6. Practicability. The last criterion indicates the level of technological difficulty to carry out a given task in a given context, for example which machinery is needed.

Chapelle’s is a framework for the evaluation of tasks, since it applies criteria that pertain to language teaching research in order to assess the effectiveness of CALL tasks. This characteristic substantially differentiates it from the model proposed by Egbert and Hanson-Smith, which defines CALL tasks from the departure point of general didactic criteria. It is a clear example of the shift in perspective illustrated by Garret: the need to evaluate CALL tasks is in fact proof of the maturity and autonomy reached in this field: technologies are no longer confined to the execution of tasks designed outside their specific ambits, but rather, they play an active and integrated role in the evaluation process.

As an example, we may consider the matching task proposed by Johns (1994), in which learners from a course of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) consulted a corpus of information using a specific programme to answer linguistic doubts which emerged during discussion – for example, which is the difference between therefore and hence?

NOTES

1 This volume has a wide perspective and does not deal solely with CALL in a strict sense, but also with testing and research on technology-supported language intake, thence its title, often collected in the acronym CASLA.

2 On Compton’s model for online language teaching, see §7.3.2.3 As already mentioned Chapelle’s work deals with different uses of technology in language teaching:

CALL is one of these uses, another one is, for instance, language testing.4 It should be remarked that the authoress refers also to social-affective conditions, but these are

limited to the concept of Willingness to Communicate, which is important in order to stimulate communication, through which learning will occur: this perspective is quite different from the socio-cultural one.

5 On the notion of task see Richards and Rogers (2001), p. 224.6 Literature on focus on form, which is rich and articulate, presents too vast an overview to be even

fleetingly dealt with here.7 The complete list of conditions is: interaction modification, output modification, urgency of execution

(the more the hurry, the less attention to form), modalities (written or spoken; the written mode makes attention to form more likely), support (the more the linguistic helps available, the more attention will be lent to form), surprise (unexpected elements diminish attention to form), control and interests.

APPENDIX C

CALL APPLICATIONS

Although technology is the great protagonist of CALL, the definition of taxonomy into which to arrange the various technologies still remains an unsolved problem even though, it should be said, it is neither the most severe nor the most studied in this sector. This paragraph is not meant to offer a solution to this issue, but rather provide trainers with a tentative list of some of the most common CALL tools and their use. Here to follow, therefore, we present the types of applications which emerge from different syllabi of experts in this sector. The word “applications” here does not mean specific technologies, but, rather generically, functional nuclei, in which technology and Teacher Education are integrated. The proposed categories, therefore, have a pedagogic function; that is to say, they do not describe programmes, but topics dealt with in the CALL syllabus.

For greater completeness, each application is preceded by a brief summary describing some usage examples and samples of what could be taught.

Exercises Creation

• Usage examples: Creation of language exercises.• What to teach: Building language activities; reflecting on technical individual

features;1 reflecting on the possible linguistic uses of the various activities.

Applications for the realisation of language exercises form the basic structure of many CALL courses. Although structural exercises seem not to enjoy such a good reputation in research (but not so bad a one either…) exercise-creation programmes

Figure C.1. Matching exercises following the Lexical Approach (the exercise is taken from Lewis, 2000, p. 99)

present various good qualities. Firstly, they are “recognisable”; that is to say, they are part of the previous knowledge of teachers, who can appreciate them because they immediately understand their use; in other words, they may offer excellent more suitable point of departure with respect to more sophisticated or less immediate applications (for example, concordancers or Computer Mediated Communication).

Furthermore, these programmes are generally flexible because they are based on templates which may be used in different pedagogical contexts: literature on the Lexical Approach, for example, is rich in examples of “traditional” exercises (like matching exercises) from a lexical viewpoint.

Language exercises, which are at the core of many language activities (hence their central role in language education), can generally be exported and embedded into e-learning platforms or other Content Management Systems (CMS) together with multimedia and text, thus constituting an easy and immediate tool for language teachers.

Content Production

• Usage examples: Content creation, editing and management. Content consists of audio, video, images, presentations, info graphics etc.

• What to teach: programme functions; integration among different programmes; content editing;

In spite of the fact that programmes for exercises are nothing but applications for content production, the latter software applications deserve a separate analysis. In this paragraph we shall, instead, focus on the programmes for the production of multimedia content. This is a vast category including, among others, applications for image, audio or video editing, software applications for presentations etc. Such products usually converge into language tasks of which they are a part, for instance audio files for listening activities or images for text-image matching exercises.

Software applications in this category are usually more complex than those for creating exercises, and they often envisage competences that are external to the ambit of language teaching whilst, as we have seen, teachers are somehow prepared (at least from a theoretical point of view) for, say, a gap filling exercise, as they know what it is. For example Audacity, a well-known and diffused tool for audio editing, contains a great number of functions whose usage implies a certain degree of knowledge of audio processing. The same is true for many image editing programmes, which have numerous functions, for the usage of which specific and often complex competences are needed. For example, many image-editing tools contain ready-made filters to apply special effects to an image; resizing and resamplig, however, may (as occurred in the author’s experience) prove challenging, for they imply concepts such as aspect ratio, cropping, etc., which are often unknown to non-skilled technology users.

However, as concerns language pedagogy, it does not seem necessary to have functions that are too complex and we may restrict ourselves, in most cases, to

Page 9: LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ...978-94-6300-477-0/1.pdf · LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE ... then paste into Moodle to

CALL APPLICATIONS

193

the basic ones, which are useful for the production of the most common language activities. The most advanced functions may be considered a preserve of professional figures other than teachers: such is the case of the CALL Specialist.2

(3) relating to vocabulary on a ship’s watertight compartments. The parts of the compartment were removed and substituted with a letter, which was

later used in the match exercise. (Image source: Wikimedia)3

Therefore, given the high number of products and their potential complexity, choices need to be made: it is either possible to draw an overview of the main uses and functions of different programmes (e.g. Audacity, Gimp, and Avidemux), or restrict analysis to some of them, studying them more in depth.

Virtual Learning Environments (VLE)

• Usage examples: Coursework management; content delivery; cooperative and collaborative work; testing;

• What to teach: Course management; realisation of language tasks; integration of multimedia content; realisation of language tests;

Virtual learning Environments, or e-learning platforms, constitute a very useful tool, for the simple reason that they were designed to easily and effectively manage online teaching proper, both as regards content management (and delivery) and interaction among learners and tutors. In short, e-learning platforms can manage and support a great part of coursework. Furthermore, even though today the most diffused VLE is Moodle, the very notion of VLE is rather vague and can be applied to a number of tools from institution managed e-learning platforms, to autonomously managed web log platforms (like Wordpress) through which teachers can interact with their students and deliver content.

Owing to their flexibility and wealth of usages, VLEs have been dealt with by a copious literature, to which we refer the reader for deeper knowledge. Here, we limit ourselves to recalling some facts which seem relevant as regards Teacher Education. First of all, VLEs, although in some cases they may be rather complex tools from the administrative/logistic viewpoint (as to the management of Teacher Education

Page 10: LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ...978-94-6300-477-0/1.pdf · LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE ... then paste into Moodle to

APPENDIX C

194

within them), are often relatively simple (although in some cases very rich4 in functions, as with Moodle) and economical from a technical stance; that is to say, they require but little work and expense in terms of infrastructures. The second element is that platforms can support coursework in different ways and may be utilised both for complex projects, such as whole distance courses,5 and for parts of coursework, e.g. online extensions, or even language tests. Thirdly, different learning environments are based on different mechanisms; it is, therefore, necessary also in this case to develop competences that are transferable from one context to another and from one system to another, e.g. how to embed content or how do communication tools work.

Owing to their potentially low economic cost,6 to their relatively easy setting up7 and to their didactic potential, platforms are powerful tools, especially in contexts where investments in technology are lower.8

Computer Mediated Communication

• Usage examples: Online interaction (with other learners, with mother tongue speakers etc.); online tasks;9

• What to teach: How to design an online task; observing linguistic phenomena emerging from online discussions; managing online interaction; dealing with technical issues;

We have dealt with CMC above; therefore we refer the reader to the previous chapters on this subject. From the viewpoint of training for the use of these tools, it should be noted that they generally are not so much technical; for this reason training may focus on pedagogical and linguistic aspects such as social-skills management, task design and choice of communication means.10

Although simple, however, CMC tools present some technical features that require particular attention and that should not be neglected during training. Communication tools, in particular audio-video conferencing tools may undergo technical problems related to, for instance, connection speed: these issue can have negative effects on the execution of an activity. Technical problems are particularly serious in this area and may cause stress and concern, for instance if many learners are connected and are waiting to work.

Mobile Technology and Social Networks

• Usage examples: engaging learners also outside classroom/study time; increasing access to language and communication; production and sharing of content;

• What to teach: mobile applications; social networks; using social networks for language learning;

Researchers have identified in Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) a number of foci of interest, e.g. learner autonomy (Godwin-Jones, 2011) or expanding the learning time beyond school time (Stockwell, 2013). As Burston (2013) notes

Page 11: LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ...978-94-6300-477-0/1.pdf · LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE ... then paste into Moodle to

CALL APPLICATIONS

195

“for as long as formal instruction has existed there has been an interest in freeing learning from the constraints of time and place” (p. 157). Also because of technical issues (e.g. screen size, input methods etc.), MALL has a quite limited use, although it is becoming a primary area of interest in CALL because of the diffusion of mobile technology and its connection with social networking tools and content sharing.

The possibility of accessing content independently of time and place is certainly appealing, but it implies knowledge of some technical issues (e.g. responsive design), while, on the other hand, teachers should know that learners access social networks mostly through mobile technology (this is why the both are treated together). In the literature there are no examples of Teacher Education for the use of mobile devices or social networks; however, considering the increasing role of such tools, it is advisable for them to be presented to teachers, so that they are informed of any extra-institutional linguistic activities learners may undertake through them.

HyperText Markup Language (HTML)

• Usage examples: Input enrichment; text captions management; embedding of multimedia items into texts (e.g. in weblog); modifying a resource’s code;

• What to teach: HTML bases; reference sources (e.g. the Barebones guide,11 which contains the whole list of tags); managing HTML code (e.g. embedding a youTube video);

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) represents one of the most controversial items in educational technology. Though very simple and often hurriedly described as a formatting language (which it is not), this language is anyhow vast, and presents complex technical aspects: here, however, we ought not to discuss its difficulty, but rather, its usefulness. In fact, as it is very simple (at least as far as its fundamentals are concerned), it is not infrequent for it to be included in educational technology courses. In spite of this, it comes naturally, on one side, to wonder whether the space devoted to it is sufficient to lead to the understanding of its most important functions at least; on the other, and most importantly, whether it is at all useful to teach it.

Generally speaking, illustrating HTML is rather simple: it is a formatting language with open and closed tags and, among these, there is one which allows links with other pages/resources, for each source has a specific address:

Figure C.3. HTML code. The <strong> tag makes the text bold, while the <a> tag is used to create links to other pages

Page 12: LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ...978-94-6300-477-0/1.pdf · LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE ... then paste into Moodle to

APPENDIX C

196

The strongest criticism to teaching HTML is the often quoted one made by Bennett and Marsh (2002): “to be good online tutors it is not sufficient (…) to know which HTML code to write in order to insert an image into a page”.

This question may be interpreted through the distinction made previously, between procedure and technology: knowing the whole of HTML language is not useful for a teacher, but knowing its mechanisms and some of its individual features is, for through such procedures certain teaching techniques may be implemented. For example, let us take the case of input-based methods. By working on an LMS, there is an opportunity to insert texts through HTML language, and if the latter is well-known, they can be manipulated successfully. A classical case is that presented by Jourdenais et al. (1995), where the study related to whether English-speaking Spanish learners would notice verb forms that had been highlighted by means of typographic conventions.

Figure C.4. Input enriched through HTML language in Moodle

The HTML language also offers tools for the insertion of captions into texts12 through, for instance, the <abbr> tag, which makes it possible to associate a portion of text with an added text, which will be shown if the cursor is passed over the text.

Figure C.5. <abbr> tag to insert captions into the text. The definition is taken from http://www.larousse.fr

These two rather simple examples illustrate the potentials of HTML language for language pedagogy. What is really necessary, then, is not a deep and professional knowledge of all the different online writing languages and their developments, but

Page 13: LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ...978-94-6300-477-0/1.pdf · LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE ... then paste into Moodle to

CALL APPLICATIONS

197

rather, to be able to research the possible ways to use that language for realising linguistic tasks (or a part of them). It should not be forgotten that HTML is useful for working online, for example within didactic platforms, which employ this language in their output pages.

Online Tools

• Usage examples: Contents finding; online extensions; contents creation;• What to teach: How to upload contents; how to realise contents and integrate

them, for example in a blog

A classic subject for CALL syllabi is that of online tools. Some online tools are: dictionaries, conjugators, websites containing language exercises/original contents/multimedia contents (e.g. youTube), applications for contents creation (e.g. cartoons, exercises), applications for pedagogical content management and delivery.

In general, the technical level is rather low (as generally occurs with web-based applications), but the usefulness of these tools is beyond doubt, just like their immediate usability; this is, therefore, an important subject, and one which is likely to interest teachers.

Interactive Whiteboard

• Usage examples: Interactive presentations; support to classroom activities;• What to teach: How to use the software; how to create presentations and complex

teaching activities;

The introduction of the interactive board into language classes is a very topical subject for research, and represents an important innovation at the level of technological infrastructure. Unlike the applications illustrated previously, this tool involves a rather high cost both for installing and for maintenance; the interactive board, therefore, requires an institutional effort and may not always be available, at least with the present state of things, in all contexts.

The interactive board is a composite tool made up of various equipments: a computer, a projector, an interactive screen and proprietary software, which is included in the package (Cutrim Schmid, 2006). This tool represents an expansion of the classical presentation (e.g. slides), which it allows to become, precisely, interactive: for example, by inserting videos or language tasks. In this sense, the interactive board as a tool sums up several of the applications seen previously, affording them with a new dimension: for instance, showing a video and proposing an activity to the whole class.

Considering the variety of its applications, and since these boards work with special software that can neither be chosen nor changed, the technical level is rather high. Furthermore, given the cost of such a tool, it is impossible to train for its usage

Page 14: LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ...978-94-6300-477-0/1.pdf · LIST OF SKILLS FOR USING A VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (MOODLE ... then paste into Moodle to

APPENDIX C

198

outside the lesson of the Technology Course and, in this case also, the activities are individual; nor is it to be excluded that the institution in charge of the courses may be lacking the necessary equipment.

Applications: A Review

The list presented here is rather generic and, above all, far less technical than other taxonomies; the reason being the already mentioned one, of a didactic perspective, so that there is no list of technologies, but rather, a list of significant nuclei of technologies which can be applied to language teaching. This choice was also determined by the fact that the most frequent syllabus is the breadth-first one,13 that is to say, those general courses which present the subject as a whole, and those proposed are some of the most common and easily accessible applications for those approaching them for the first time.

As will be seen in the following paragraphs, however, the breadth-first curriculum is only one of the possibilities; in fact, depending on the curriculum, contents and processes vary dramatically. The following paragraph, then, presents a range of possible scenarios among those hypothesized in Hubbard-Levy’s model; such variety will make quite clear the richness of potential of CALL curriculum.

NOTES

1 For instance, in the HotPotatoes match exercises, the drag & drop modality is not suitable for all screens(for the exercise may be bigger than the screen itself, thus making dragging difficult.

2 On CALL specialist, see §5.2.4 and §9.3.3; this professional knows the advanced functions of a given area because he is specialized in a given sector of linguistics: e.g., an expert in phonetics needs to know well the ways in which an audio can be modified.

4 Especially if they are compared with tools such as programmes for language tasks creation, which were taken as a basis and point of departure for the development of technical and procedural competencies.

5 About online Language Teacher Education, see Torsani (2009) and Lamy (2013).6 It is, in fact, possible to unload Open Source platforms and install them on free Web spaces.7 Special competencies are obviously necessary in order to install a platform and maintain) a platform.

However, many hosting or web services providers offer ready-made tools that can be used without specific technical competences.

8 See §4.3 about the weight of the political dimension on this sector.9 Tasks are seen in SLA research, especially within research on Task-based Learning, as “pivot
