Date: Thursday, May 6th, 2010 Location: Thwing Center Meeting Room A at Case Western Reserve Unviersity Panelists: Carolina Perera, Tina Oestreich, Sue Shick The presenters will discuss the innovative uses of the 3D virtual world of Second Life (SL) in Carolina Perera's Spanish class at CWRU. Ms. Perera's students use SL to speak with native Spanish speakers, role play with one another and listen to guest speakers from other countries. We will present the results of recent research investigating how the use of SL and Skype in fourth semester Spanish courses affects foreign language speaking anxiety and how students respond to using these tools as an aid to foreign language learning.
