28 févr. 2007BbWorld '07 EuropeStandard Presentation: Art & Society: Developing Learner Fluency in a Foreign Language
10:45 AM - 11:35 AM
Speakers: Hervé Didiot-Cook, Language Coordinator, The London School of Economics and Poltical Science
Students at the London School of Economics and Political Science learn foreign languages for academic purposes (for example, social sciences) and have traditionally used text-based resources rather than visual material. However, combined use of the Virtual Learning Environment and the integration of Horizon Wimba voice tools have enabled us to redress this imbalance and successfully develop an online art residency with Michel Herreria, a visual artist. The aim of our presentation is to illustrate the extent and the benefits of this partnership.
