Dear all,
The second study group meeting yesterday was from 12-2pm. We had eight participants, including one new member. The article was more practical and not as difficult as the first one, so everybody seemed to have a lot to say. Two hours just flew by. It was really fun.
For your information, our discussion focused on the following issues:
1. project-based learning as a way to address Thorne and Black's idea of "strong social responsibility" in langauge learning activity design (We say it is a way to "make the world a better place," borrowing Ruth's term.)
2. from learner's taking on new identity and positioning in activities to the issue of engagement
3. "learning" vs. "language learning" embedded in computer games
4. "the culture of use" and examples
BTW, the lunch box was yummy, thanks to our two wonderful assistants, May and Susan!
Hope you will join us next time.
