Abstract

Are there online activities that can encourage exploration, risk-taking, cooperation and experimentation that teacher and learner can benefit from? This presentation will include a discussion and demonstration of two online discussion techniques for teacher trainers and language learners. Both techniques are used to invite reflection upon issues related to teaching, teacher training and learning. Kiva, a Native American discussion technique, is used to discuss professional issues of interest to teacher trainers and topics of interest to language learners. Six Colored Hats, a management technique, promotes whole brain thinking and problem solving. Kiva and Six Colored Hats can be carried out in the CALL lab using the LAN to post questions. Responses via the LAN are reviewed by the teacher/facilitator, collated and posted to the group. With effective pedagogy and instructional tools, students and teachers will be able to achieve their educational and professional goals
