Anne Fox | af@ghs.dk Yahoo ID: foxdenuk http://www.homestead.com/Anne_Fox/LearningFrench.html |
I started teaching English in 1996 after moving to Denmark in 1993 from Britain. The vocational training centre where I first found part time work is very keen on distance and open learning and I have had some great ICT training and opportunities to experiment with online course development. I have just finished the online element of an oral skills course so the issue of building an online community is very pertinent to me right now. Since my institution has just bought the WIMBA VoiceBoard system (on my recommendation) it looks as though they believe that this is the future. The website for helping learners of French is a hobby (I am half French). My course website is password protected and partly in Danish. |

Just call me Ali , that's easy to remember... I'm an English teacher trainer here in Rabat, the capital of Morocco. I have been mainly trained in applied linguistics and language teaching methodology. My IT/CALL training has been very very patchy and I think I'm still toddling at the CALL threshhold. I like swimming and, until further notice, cybersurfing too! And like Dave, I have my share in another tremendous job with our two daughters...but it's a lot of fun too. |

Normally, I teach ESP for architecture students at Universidad Simon Bolivar, in Caracas, Venezuela. For the last two years, I have been in Valencia, Spain, pursuing doctoral studies at the "Universidad de Valencia". Since the topic for my thesis is evaluation in CALL, I thought this session would be an excellent opportunity for me, because I have to design and teach an on line unit and my only experience with on line courses was a one-month workshop I took (Evaluating Internet Resources). I am excited and eager to start this new learning experience. |

I work for a virtual language school known as Santillana Net Languages (linked to the International House World Organisation). We sell and run various English courses, which we have also written and programmed, and are about to launch some Spanish courses and Methodology courses. One of the key aspects of our courses is the creation and, more importantly, the maintenance of a lively language learning community. To do this we use various synchronous and asynchronous means of communication so anything I learn about other people's experience in virtual communities will be very interesting. | |

I ended up in Australia in January 2000 via Japan & the U.K. and am planning on staying here indefinitely. I'm extremely interested in 'unplugging' CALL (i.e. escaping from these huge materials driven CALL packages and looking at what really makes courses tick, i.e. people!), and Yahoo! groups usage in teacher development and with students as a big part of that. I'm looking forward to this! |

After working as an early childhood educator, in 1995 I did a bachelor of educational communication and multimedia. As this field was so new, I found the Internet the only way to get inspired, informed and involved in educational online communities, such as Webheads, Tapped In, and the Global Educators Network. Now I am a free lance essayist and lecturer, an external examiner at the social educators' colleges, and finishing a masters study of theoretical education at the Danish University of Education in Copenhagen.. Despite my interest in foreign language, I have no credentials for teaching it; I am an EFL learner in practice. |

I teach mainly business English. My main interests are developing EFL/ESL materials for online and CD-ROM use and building my company's website. I look forward to interacting with you all and discovering more about what CALL has to offer. | |

I am from Vancouver, Canada but am currently living in the UAE. I'm working on my MA in TESOL and ICT by distance from the University of London and working part-time teaching English at Dubai Men's College. I've been involved with CALL for a number of years, with the majority of my experience coming while Head Teacher for CALL at the English Language Institute at the University of British Columbia. I'm interested in teacher training in CALL. While not working or studying, I can usually be found on the golf course. |

I have been in Japan for over 20 years. I find the Internet essential for keeping in touch with the Old Country (California). My interests are computers in language teaching/learning. I am using computers to keep up with Russian and German, and I am now learning French using CD-ROMs so that I can have the perspective of the learner. |

I live in a small town by the sea, ten-minutes from the more touristic Estoril and Cascais, and 30-minutes from Lisbon. I've taught English at all levels, including college, for over 25 years. Now I'm teaching 9th grade EFL. I love teaching and find it even more challenging with new technologies. I've done three email cultural exchanges this year as well as interactive Web-based activities custom-made for my two classes. I love computers, the Internet and keeping up with friends, cyberpals, and job-related developments through email. I did my first online course last October and really enjoyed the experience. |

(English-language consultancy focusing on translation from Swedish into
English): Språkverkstan AB ('The Word Shop'), in Sweden. translator@clarejames.se Yahoo ID: sweetclaritycj http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SweetClarity |
I taught EFL in London in the 1970s and Sweden from 1980. Since 1986 have worked mainly in Swedish-to-English translation (which often involves teaching clients). Now interested in getting back into teaching more directly, this time 'virtually' (e.g. by interactive, personalised e-mail courses) rather than in a real classroom, and not only with Swedish students. My 'Sweet Clarity' newsletter contains language-related articles and I write teaching material. Plan to make the articles and material available on my web site when (if ever) I finally get my act together and launch one! Interested in partnership with a kindred spirit for this purpose. |

After teaching ESL for 20 years I started working full time in software development (2 years) and consulting in and coordinating CALL implementations (ever since). I missed the classroom but soon found that I could continue teaching online. Actually, I don't believe there is such a thing as language teaching, only language learning, so more correctly I've been experimenting with multimedia synchronous and asynchronous communications tools to promote authentic communication among students, and more recently, among peers. I conceived this session as a continuation of these experiments. I hope you will enjoy participating. |
