Their pedagogic objective is usually considered as a means to facilitate social learning and collaboration between learners. Research into the use of hashtags by learners illustrates limited engagement and integration within their learning experience (Veletsianos, 2017) and that MOOC providers use course hashtags mainly as a means of promotion and marketing. This paper presents the findings of an analysis of the use of the #FLIrish101 by a cohort of learners undertaking a Language MOOC (LMOOC) designed for ab initio learners of Irish. The LMOOC is delivered through the FutureLearn platform. The paper outlines the main findings from an analysis of the Twitter dataset to interpret the LMOOC’s learner use of the hashtag. The paper critiques the implicit research design, pedagogical principles and engagement strategies employed by the LMOOCs academic designers to integrate the hashtag as a purposeful means to support collaborative language learning outside the confines of the MOOC platform","PeriodicalId":138095,"journal":{"name":"Future-proof CALL: language learning as exploration and encounters – short papers from EUROCALL 2018","volume":"147 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113991000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2018, a number of pilot experiences are being conducted. This paper focusses on one of these pilot experiences, where learners from a Dutch secondary school and a Spanish primary school telecollaborated in Spanish and English by carrying out four tasks (creation of vlogs) asynchronously and sharing them in their group’s Padlet wall. Different sources of data were gathered (recordings, surveys, and interviews) in order to be able to disentangle the factors that might play a role in successful telecollaboration exchanges and language learning experiences. Overall learners seemed to enjoy the experience, but the Spanish participants found the exchanges much more meaningful than the Dutch ones. This might well be related to the autonomy given to the students, who might have needed further guidance to benefit fully from the exchange.","PeriodicalId":138095,"journal":{"name":"Future-proof CALL: language learning as exploration and encounters – short papers from EUROCALL 2018","volume":"111 3S 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133053626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data has been collected in 2017-2018 during an intermediate Finnish course at the University of Toronto. In this paper, we investigate one student assignment and analyse what kind of collaborative encounters the use of vlogging creates outside the classroom. We analyse the discourse within the vlog with the support from ethnographically collected data (semi-structured interviews and written reflections). This study shows that vlogging implements the adoption of different collaborative encounters; a free time activity with friends creates a space for authentic and collaborative language learning.","PeriodicalId":138095,"journal":{"name":"Future-proof CALL: language learning as exploration and encounters – short papers from EUROCALL 2018","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116520125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This platform, Virtual Reality Conversation Envisioning (VRCE), enables the learners to fully share a contextual, immersive environment, simulated in Virtual Reality (VR), to have free conversations by performing role-plays on proposed topics. VRCE is designed to provide first person views during conversation and third person views during envisioning so that learners can take the role of participants and meta-participants at each phase. Learners envision the conversation individually at certain points during the role-play review. Their envisioning is then shared with their conversational partner to detect the misunderstandings, observe the situation from each other’s perspective, and to learn about sociocultural cues that led to the different viewpoints. Participants’ envisioning revealed interesting differences in their understanding of a shared situation. Findings showed that VRCE is an effective medium to raise learner collaboration and develop cross-cultural competencies.","PeriodicalId":138095,"journal":{"name":"Future-proof CALL: language learning as exploration and encounters – short papers from EUROCALL 2018","volume":"2677 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129323086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An Exploratory Research (ER) was conducted, aiming to examine how gamification affects secondary school learners’ experience in the FL/L2 classroom. A six-week technology-assisted gamified mobile language course for German as a Foreign Language (GFL), called MISSION BERLIN, was developed, implemented, and evaluated. Data collection methods include semistructured focus group interviews with all students, an online survey and Moodle logs. Results indicate that there are certain game elements that are more useful in a mobile Moodle environment than others, and that structure and duration of the course, as well as technical issues, influence the students’ learning experience. The paper concludes with suggested improvements and final considerations for the implementation of a gamified mobile course for FL/L2 learning.","PeriodicalId":138095,"journal":{"name":"Future-proof CALL: language learning as exploration and encounters – short papers from EUROCALL 2018","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117020750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the relative benefits of these two concordancer types remains unclear. The present study compares learning outcomes and learners’ perceptions of a monolingual English (Corpus of Contemporary American English, COCA) and a French-English parallel concordancer (Tradooit), using verb-preposition collocations as a target feature. Students in an advanced English as a second language (ESL) course completed three concordancing activities where they used either Tradooit (for French L1 speakers) or COCA (for other L1s) to formulate rules for challenging verb-preposition collocations (e.g. arrive in/at). Preand post-tests showed significant learning gains for both groups, which were maintained in delayed post-tests; however, perception questionnaires showed that Tradooit was perceived as easier and more useful for language learning. We suggest that these differences may be due to the type of cognitive work involved in L1-L2 comparison versus L2 patternfinding, but that these two processes may both lead to noticing and learning.","PeriodicalId":138095,"journal":{"name":"Future-proof CALL: language learning as exploration and encounters – short papers from EUROCALL 2018","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115183320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
