Item A virtual Chinese language class in Second Life: Lessons learnt from a two-month pilot study.(2010-12-03) Kan, Y. H.; Lan, Y. J.; Hsiao, I. Y. T.; Yang, S. J. H.Authentic context and active social interaction are two critical factors in the success of foreign language learning. Second life (SL) has been viewed as an attractive platform with potential for foreign language learning because of its virtual authentic real context. However, simply moving students to SL guarantee neither students’ active involvement and rich interpersonal interaction nor effective learning outcome. In a two-month pilot study of Chinese learning and teaching in SL, analytical results indicate that there is still more needed to do in SL to help create a more active Chinese language learning environment for Chinese learning and teaching for global learners. While this pilot study focuses on teaching and learning Chinese as a foreign language, the findings and suggestions are also relevant to understanding the related issues of other language.Item Lessons learnt from practical implementing teaching and learning Chinese as a foreign language in SL.(2010-09-26) Lan, Y. J.; Kan, Y. H.; Hsiao, I,Y.T.; Yang, S.J.H.Item Designing interaction tasks in Second Life for CFL learners: a preliminary exploration.(Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education (ascilite), 2013-01-01) Lan, Y. J.; Kan, Y. H.; Hsiao, I,Y.T.; Yang, S.J.H.; Chang, K.E.The aims of this research were to develop guidelines for designing interaction tasks for learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) and to investigate the attitudes of CFL learners toward a full CFL class in Second Life (SL). Three research questions were addressed in this research: (1) what are the attitudes of CFL learners toward the language learning tasks in SL? (2) what kinds of social interactions emerge from learning activities in a CFL class in SL? (3) how do those activities benefit CFL learners in the learning of Chinese in SL? Two studies were conducted to tackle these questions. The cognition, usage, and expansion (CUE) model was proposed based on the findings obtained from study 1 and then implemented and evaluated in study 2. The findings of study 2 indicated that the activities run in the CUE model were effective at motivating CFL beginners and improving their oral communication and social interactions. Based on the video data analysis, three criteria were proposed for designing learning activities. Suggestions are also made for future research on CFL teaching/learning in SL.
