The need of language learning is greater than
ever!

How Internet Impacts Language Education?
World Internet Users (as of December 2007): 1,319,872,109
![Page 7: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Singhal (1997) discussed the potential benefits of the Internet and how it can be used in the second or foreign language classroom. She indicates that Internet is not only a new tool of communication, but also a teaching and learning tool.

What is used for language teaching and learning?
LeLoup and Ponterio (2001) listed a number of Internet applications that can be used to enrich the foreign language classroom.
These applications include: email, mailing list, e-journals, World Wide Web, streaming audio and video, search engines, remote access to libraries and database, chat, audio and video conferencing and messaging, web course management, etc.
![Page 9: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Categorization of applications: Information resources - Web directories,
searchable database (general - Eric, Google, Informaworld. Language education specific - Merlot), online textbooks and learning materials (including audio and video – Podcasting, YouTube)
Communication – asynchronous email, discussion forum and blog (including voice email like Wimba and YackPack); synchronous instant messengers (MSN, Yahoo) Internet telephony programs (Skype)

Collaborative learning – Document sharing, editing and publishing (writeboard.com, docs.google.com)
Learning tools - online dictionary, glossing engine, character animation, text-to-speech, concordancer, etc
Virtual classroom and office for online learning and long distance education (Elluminate, WizIq, webex, etc)

Why using web pages?
Why do I use them web pages - CCN
Curiosity – interested to know if Internet really helps teaching and learning
Convenience – anytime and anywhere, easy to edit, update
Normalization – indispensable tool for teaching and learning
![Page 12: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1997- my first web page Learning Chinese Online
Created for collecting web resources for teaching Chinese
At first, everything was manual Now it is dynamic – pages are created
automatically by a program. Once the database is updated, the pages are updated automatically
Current URL: http://learningchineseonline.net

Five types of web pages/links Virtual classroom and office: for students and
for myself – easy access to web pages and programs
Courses: Course pages – an example Learning resources – an example Textbook based: – e-textbook example and
textbook supporting page Learning tools: tools for learning page

What changes are taking place?
The way of class preparation and presentation changed (including testing) – from pen and paper (textbook, handouts, tests) to keyboard and screen (media) PPT, ePlan, eText, AP Chinese
![Page 15: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The way of teaching and learning changed from one way delivery to two way interaction/communication (transnational).
Interaction among teachers and students (Blogs, discussions, email).
Interaction between the students and native speakers of the target languages or learners elsewhere
(Laowai Blog) http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1237912290 - a blog by a French
![Page 16: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Benefits and problems
Easy access to teaching materials – anytime and anywhere
Convenience in teaching – it is no longer pen and paper and chalk and blackboard, but keyboard and screen.
Strengthening interaction with students – email, discussion, virtual classroom
![Page 17: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Benefits and problems
Much more time spent than pen and paper teaching
There are always new things to learn. Information explosion – The increasing amount of information generally makes learners confused while they try to reach specific information (Chafe, 1999).
Ephemeral nature of the Internet data
![Page 18: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Skills needed
Basic html knowledge Using web creating software (frontpage,
dreamweaver) Sound and image file processing Text scanning and converting (OCR) FTP knowledge and skill (to post and
maintain web)
![Page 19: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Suggestions for novice people
Create a site for yourself, e.g. for your course
Make some web pages for this course Upload and upgrade them Maintain this course web site Web supporting course or blended/hybrid
course is suggested
![Page 20: Teaching for Globalization: How Web Can Help? Dr. Tim Xie txie@csulb.edu California State University, Long Beach October 2008 Washington.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dd85503460f94acddd8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What will be in the future? Technological development – unpredictable
Normalization – Bax (2003) proposed three stages of CALL: restricted, open and integrated CALL. At the final stage everything in “normalized”.
The technology is invisible, hardly even recognized as a technology, taken for granted in everyday life.
