Twelfth International Conference on e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies

Abstract

Web 2.0 tools are used increasingly in many academic institutions but there has been insufficient guidance about how to implement online activities. This paper is based on an interactive platform aimed at enhancing students’ learning of French beyond the classroom. This paper will focus on a model that has been developed to facilitate the creation of online activities. This model accounts for the role of the teacher, the learner and the technology, as part of a holistic approach to ensure the effectiveness of learning. Finally, the paper concludes on the challenges and recommendations related to applying technology in language learning and the implications for 2.0 teachers with regards to their capacity as designers, facilitators and action-researchers.
