Web 2.0 Technologies and Second Language Learning

A Critical Review of Wikis as a Tool in the Modern Language Classroom.

The book is designed to meet the needs of practising language teachers interested in integrating wikis in a modern language classroom. By giving general information as regards basic features and functions, as well as setting up a wiki, it serves as an ideal introduction for novices, who do not have any experience with wiki technology. Apart from the theoretical investigation, this book especially addresses the questions to what extent wikis can really support second language learning and teaching. To this end, three wiki-based projects that have been carried out in English classes are depicted and analysed. 118 Seiten mit 24 Abb. und vier Tab., broschiert (Verlag Die Blaue Eule 2010) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
