Course name

Language exchange: how to make it right?

Difficulty

Moderate, intermediate English level is required.

Target learners

Everyone who plans to use or is currently using language exchange as a learning tool is welcome to become our listeners.

Learning goals

The objective of this course is to explain what are common problems in language exchange and recommend how to make language exchange work.

Design characteristic

  1. English is the most popular language for language exchange, thus our course is taught in English.

  2. Students’ participation is encouraged and for this two additional tools are designed: a shared Google document and an FB group.

  3. Bridge-in, objective, pre-test and participatory learning of the BOPPPS model are used.

  4. A live conversation between my language partner and me is provided in order to exemplify a language exchange process and provide first-hand experience.

  5. Multiple related resources will be provided.

  6. Via FB group we’ll help students to match with language exchange partners.

Draft

The content presented above is mainly about the topic I’ve chosen at the outset – about qualitative research. My plan was to design an interactive course including a live conversation with one researcher from the outside company that specializes in qualitative research. However, a few days before the shooting I was notified that the lecturer won’t be able to participate. Therefore I decided to change my topic to “Language exchange: how to make it right” and start all over again.

The design concept

Teaching and learning

This course is relatively short, but it can have a more lasting impact on listeners. Apart from using shared online document, students are invited to become members of the FB group created for this course and thus get to know each other. Moreover, FB group’s administrator will assist in searching for a suitable language partner for each listener who is interested in acquiring one. There will be one 2-people group assignment, this is also especially designed for encouraging students to interact with each other and become learning partners.

Video

Apart from the first slide of the course and two live conversations with my language partner the whole course will be based on PPT slides + voice.

What I think MOOC will be

I’ve been a student for many years and what I observed is that professors don’t often use additional audio or video materials to support the course. However, since examples in our textbooks become outdated in very short time it would be very helpful for students to be informed of all the recent changes in the field they major in. Probably, MOOC team could cooperate with professors and their teacher assistants in this regard.

Where we started

My acquaintance with MOOC creative group began in May after I attended a lecture by Barbara Oakley, one of the professors of the famous online course “Learning how to learn”. I’ve learned that we have a special group in NTU dedicated to designing and producing online courses. Thereafter I attended summer training that lasted for about one month and now I’m wrapping up my own online course for the upcoming exhibition in December. Even though my participation during this semester was limited due to busy schedule at work I enjoyed learning some new skills and being close to the educational field, something that I’m very fond of.

 

Profile

A master student from the MBA program. Completed my bachelor program in Taiwan NCCU and have been working part-time since then. Plan to continue strengthening business, cultural, and educational ties between Taiwan and Russia.

I hope that other students will learn how to be an active learner or how to learn differently, and one of the ways to do this is via online courses. If someone wishes to contribute to the development of education in Taiwan – joining MOOC group is an excellent place to start.
