Abstract

The aim of this paper is to report on the impact of the BMELTET project ‘Blending MOOCs into English Language Teaching Education with Telecollaboration' in EFL pre-service teacher education in Florida Universitària in València (Spain) with their counterparts from the UK and China. The present study will offer the views of FU students' perceptions on the development of their TEFL specific competences. Data were collected through surveys, a focus group, and personal interviews on how their experience in BMELTET influenced their in-class professional practice. Results suggest that participants appreciated the chance of being part of a Virtual Exchange and considered that they had developed subject specific competences, particularly planning CLIL projects, teaching English for primary education and practicing their language skills. In addition, some of them transferred that knowledge to their eTwinning and Erasmus projects when in-service and highlighted the improvements in their intercultural communicative competence and their ability to teach it.

探讨MOOC-VE融合对英语职前教师教育的影响

本文的目的是报告BMELTET项目“将mooc与远程合作融入英语教学教育”在佛罗里达州Universitària(西班牙)与来自英国和中国的同行的英语职前教师教育中的影响。本研究将提供FU学生对其TEFL特定能力发展的看法。通过调查、焦点小组和个人访谈收集数据，了解他们在BMELTET的经历如何影响他们的课堂专业实践。结果显示，参加者对参与虚拟交换活动的机会感到满意，并认为他们在规划CLIL项目、教授小学英语和练习语言技能等方面，已提高了专业能力。此外，他们中的一些人在职时将这些知识转移到他们的eTwinning和Erasmus项目中，并强调了他们的跨文化交际能力和教学能力的提高。
