Why MICaLL? Call Pedagogy
  • ICC classroom constraints The problem of
    teaching intercultural communication in the
    classroom is that it almost impossible to model
    experiential learning in role-plays. Internet
    projects where they have to co-operate, to work
    on a common goal with learners from other
    cultures could eventually replace role-plays and
    give the students the chance to experience
    authentic co-operation. Vogel (2001)

14
Why MICaLL? Call Pedagogy
  • Motivation classroom constraints Only
    through international activities for which the
    foreign language needs to be used on a daily
    basis in natural conversational (including
    virtual / internet based) settings can the
    students be intrinsically motivated to keep using
    the language in the school setting. Kees de
    Bot quoted in (Marsh, 2002, p.31)

15
Why MICaLL? Language Teacher Education
  • Current generation of student teachers has not
    witnessed relevant model teacher behaviour
  • EU-Conference 2004 Improving Language
    Education Theme Teacher Professionalism
  • Closer cooperation between TT and schools
  • adoption of innovative teaching methods (e.g. use
    of media, international exchanges)
  • more cooperation and networking between teacher
    training organisations
  • promotion of life long learning and participation
    in in-service training (e.g. by using e-learning)
