SLanguages 2008 – conferinta virtuala in SecondLife

Consider ca cea mai buna metoda pentru invatarea unei limbi straine este conversatia cu vorbitori nativi. Pentru educatia la distanta, lumile virtuale reprezinta cadrul ideal, oferind decoruri foarte vizuale si implicarea imersiva caracteristica role-playingului. Intre 23-24 mai, Avatar Languages organizeaza in Second Life conferinta SLanguages 2008 – un eveniment de 24 ore dedicat educatiei si invatarii limbilor straine prin intermediul lumilor virtuale 3D. SLanguages 2008 is a 24 hour multilingual conference to celebrate and investigate the use of 3D virtual worlds for language education. The conference will be held within Second Life allowing the participants to exchange ideas and share experiences simultaneously around the world. The online conference is free to attend and includes talks, workshops, discussions and posters on language education using virtual worlds such as Second Life. The events will cover methodologies, teaching tools and experiences. Evenimentul va avea loc pe insula EduNation si pentru participare este necesara inscrierea pe site-ul www.slanguages.net.
