CALL InteractionReading WebQuests
"A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet“
IsabelPerez.com & WebQuest.org
Listening & Watching Video
SpeakingEnglishSkills.com
No Writing
Improvements: Motivation Access to Information Self-assessment
Drawbacks Interaction only with the
computer Not active use for
communicationin Writing & Speaking
Result: Computers support the language learning process
No communication in real time, students work in isolation

AULA Foundations Web-based learning by communicating
by collaboratively writing in a ubiquitous environment.
AULA (A Ubiquitous Language Appliance) Infrastructure: Small devices spread over the classroom & at home/work
TELL ubiquitous environment Accessible in class, from work, anywhere anytime
Active Skill: Individual/Collaborative Writing on the Web Sample Scenario: The AULA New Technologies Assignment Activity: Writing a text to explain the impact of ICT. Pedagogical innovation: Writing evolves from an evaluation
technique to an authentic communicative learning technique based on a social activity (Scenario-based Writing).
Pedro P Sánchez Villalón 12/18
Methodology (I)
Collaborative writing process
Planning: (1st stage) The teacher establishes
the task as a Scenario: an online newspaper, a project report…
The students / participants propose titles for the texts
They generate ideas by brainstorming or freewriting
They outline & organize
Pedro P Sánchez Villalón 13/18
Methodology (II)
Collaborative writing process.
Development (2nd stage) Discussion session on notes
(ideas) with communication tool
the Chat facility
Writing the notes into sentences & organizing them into paragraphs with language tools:
Lexical tools (Dictionaries and Lexicon).
An image searcher (Google). Access to information online
Pedro P Sánchez Villalón 14/18
Methodology (III)
Collaborative writing process. Edition (3rd stage):
Revision and final edition. Collaborative correction.
Using both chat & language tools
Teacher’s assessment: Analysis of students’ trace file Analysis of the chat file of every text.
Easy checking for plagiarism or
for cheating
