Abstract

This paper reports on how the FutureLearn Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Becoming a Better Teacher was blended into English Language Teaching (ELT) university programmes in conjunction with telecollaboration. It discusses how the addition of a MOOC blend can enhance a telecollaborative exchange by adding to it increased opportunities for social collaborative interaction on a global scale. Blending MOOCs into English Teacher Education with Telecollaboration (BMELTET) fosters the students’ reflection on online and blended learning and teaching to support their future teaching practice. The paper illustrates how participating students – undergraduate ELT students from Spain and postgraduate ELT students studying in the UK – participated in both synchronous and asynchronous exchanges on the MOOC content. The discussion will focus on how a holistic approach to the integration of technology into language teacher education programmes with a blend of formal and informal platforms can support students in reflecting on their beliefs.

BMELTET -通过远程协作将mooc融入英语教师教育

本文报道了FutureLearn大规模开放在线课程(MOOC)如何与远程协作结合到英语语言教学(ELT)大学课程中。它讨论了MOOC混合课程的添加如何通过增加全球范围内社会协作互动的机会来增强远程协作交流。将MOOCs与远程协作的英语教师教育(BMELTET)相结合，培养学生对在线和混合式学习与教学的反思，为他们未来的教学实践提供支持。本文阐述了参与的学生——来自西班牙的英语教学本科生和在英国学习的英语教学研究生——如何参与MOOC内容的同步和异步交流。讨论的重点是如何采用一种全面的方法，将技术融入语言教师教育计划，并结合正式和非正式的平台，以支持学生反思他们的信仰。
