• ICC & classroom constraints:
’… The problem of teaching intercultural communication in the classroom is that it almost impossible to model experiential learning in role-plays.
Internet projects where they have to co-operate, to work on a common goal with learners from other cultures could eventually replace role-plays and give the students the chance to experience authentic co-operation.’
Vogel (2001)
Why MICaLL? Call & Pedagogy

• Motivation & classroom constraints
‘ Only through international activities for which the foreign language needs to be used on a daily basis in natural conversational (including virtual / internet based) settings can the students be intrinsically motivated to keep using the language in the school setting.’
Kees de Bot quoted in (Marsh, 2002, p.31)

• Current generation of student teachers has not witnessed relevant model teacher behaviour
• EU-Conference 2004: ‘Improving Language Education’ Theme: Teacher Professionalism:– Closer cooperation between TT and schools– adoption of innovative teaching methods (e.g. use of media,
international exchanges)– more cooperation and networking between teacher training
organisations– promotion of life long learning and participation in in-service
training (e.g. by using e-learning)
