Learning in virtual worlds
The possibilities for teaching and learning which virtual worlds make possible bypass the normal meanings of 'online', 'e-learning' or 'blended learning'. The best way to think of it is face to face teaching and learning done virtually. But 'virtual' as you have never experienced it. You, as teacher really are there talking with your class who are equally present and participatory. Learners interact with each other and you. Group dynamics, personal space and cultural sensitivity are all important elements in a Languagelab class just as in real life. Learners find it highly enabling, collaborative, dramatic and memorable. It can be as formal or informal as they wish.
