How to produce collaborative work onlinecollaborative work online

“What all collaborative tasks have in common is

that one of the participants has a goal

that he or she would like to achieve and the other

participant engages in talk that helps the first to achieve that goal.”

Wells and Chang-Wells; 1992 (quoted by Beatty:113 )

Hi Everyone!My name’s Sebastian. I’m from Catamarca, and joined this group about 6 months ago, encouraged by Ana Maria ###.. We work at the same school, and she told me about the great work you’ve been doing on ICT for English teaching. This is my first message, but I’ve been lurking since then!I wanted to tell you I’ve found the collection of links for teaching listening you created during last September at the group wiki most useful (my students have already tried several of the activities you recommended!). Perhaps we can try something similar for teaching other skills in the coming months? I think that’d help many of us keep enhancing our lessons!CheersSebastian
