"[...] La première chose qui m’a été demandée, et la seule que je traiterai dans ce billet, c’est « est-ce que les MOOCs constituent une rupture vis à vis du e-learning tel qu’il se pratique depuis 20 ans« . Car oui, on n’a pas attendu les MOOCs pour pratiquer le e-learning, diplômer des apprenants entièrement à distance, expérimenter les modèles tout en ligne, hybride, présence renforcée, etc.[...]"

Mooc : Standardisation ? Innovation ? | TICE - ICT - Education | EFL-ESL & ELT | Language, Learning, Teaching, Education | Scoop.it

[...] Ce qui se joue en ce moment, on le voit bien, n’est en rien l’innovation pédagogique, en rien les enjeux de l’éducation[...]. Ce qui se joue, c’est la captation du marché de la formation mondiale par quelques marques réputées [...] Nous assistons en ce moment à la constitution d’un oligopole à franges, comme on les appelle, car ces marques leaders doivent bénéficier sans cesse des innovations qui se dérouleront ailleurs dans le monde ouvert de l’internet. Dans cette méthode des plates-formes, en effet, il n’est pas nécessaire d’être innovant, ni sur le plan technique ni sur le plan pédagogique. A part EdX soucieux de qualité sur ce plan, les autres plates-formes (for-profit) savent très bien qu’elles n’obtiendront aucune rentabilité correcte pour les investisseurs s’il n’y a pas la masse, la standardisation et la production à moindre coût.

Présentation de la classe inversée | Flipped learning

Présentation de la classe inversée | Flipped learning | EFL-ESL & ELT | Language, Learning, Teaching, Education | Scoop.it
Ce site a pour but d'expliquer le concept de classe inversée à tous les professeurs qui souhaitent avoir un réel impact auprès de leurs élèves.
ENGLISH, ELT, ICT, VISUALS's insight:

Le graphisme illustrant le concept de classe inversée sur la page d'accueil de ce site le présente en claire opposition à une classe dite "traditionnelle" : cet "All good VS all bad" peut irriter... il n'en demeure pas moins que le concept de "flipped classroom" ou "classe inversée" vaut qu'on s'y intéresse de plus près.

 

Au fil de bilans et analyses qui permettent d'en garder le meilleur, panacher l'ancien et le nouveau est plus bénéfique -et surtout plus réaliste !- qu'une vision toute noire ou toute blanche des classes.

Sans jeter aux orties l'intégralité de pratiques traditionnelles (et toutefois en constante progression et évolution) l'on pourra ainsi en découvrir de nouvelles, dont il faudra à leur tour... analyser bienfaits et obstacles pour en tirer des bilans constructifs.

 

Bref, dans la sphère éducative aussi, du noir, du blanc... et les gris innombrables qui viennent les nuancer ;o)

How the English language is, like, changing

How the English language is, like, changing | EFL-ESL & ELT | Language, Learning, Teaching, Education | Scoop.it

"British children say 'like' five times more than their grandparents according to a 20-year language study, while 'love' is all around us.[...] The word ‘love’ is used more than six times as often as ‘hate’, while ‘save’ is used with ‘money’ twice as often as the word ‘spend’."

ENGLISH, ELT, ICT, VISUALS's insight:

Not to be outdone, as for "like", French youths also use it much more often than the older English speaking Froggies used to ;o)

I had never really pondered the matter, but to me such a  'likemania' might have been determined by an increasing listening to American English sounds on air, more than to British English ones  -mind you, nothing scientifically grounded here, only a mere personal feeling...

Not to mention the (unconscious ? but likely !) influence of FBook's successful takeover bid on the word.

Agreement on how American schoolchildren should read and write is much easier to arrive at than agreement on what they should read and write.
ENGLISH, ELT, ICT, VISUALS's insight:

"[...] Put another way, emotion is the English teacher’s entry point for literary exploration and for the development of the high-level skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards, which have been adopted in 45 states. Unfortunately, the authors of the standards are not particularly interested in emotional risk taking but rather in the avoidance of political risk. It is a rather bloodless effort.  [...]"

Is internet English debasing the language? Not IMHO | EFL-ESL & ELT | Language, Learning, Teaching, Education | Scoop.it

Some of the prose on the web is dreadful, but some is as good as anything on paper. [...] But is it really true that English is being abused and impoverished in "blogs and emails"? I suppose it depends what kind of blogs one reads – the New Yorker's Page Turnerblog or Crooked Timberseem pretty well-written to me – and what kind of email correspondents one is blessed with (a lot of mine, I'm happy to say, are rather excellent stylists).

Bullying is a subject that never seems to go away and one that really sticks in my craw so to speak.
ENGLISH, ELT, ICT, VISUALS's insight:

Bullying in real life schools as well as cyberbullying have become both a concern and a burning issue to French English teachers. As bullying and harassment have been dealt with in the US educational system, there are many resources on this topic  -like this relevant infographic...

As a poster, it is likely to attract the pupils' eyes in the classroom, and it might also provide data to build language activities as part of a lesson plan on th subject.
