Second language learning in the digital age

Learning Strategies in the Digital Age*

Wednesday, November 28, 12:20–1:10 p.m.

Location: Nolte 140, U of MN

The Digital Age has changed the way we learn foreign and second languages. This presentation offers examples of the general types of changes that are shaping new learning styles and strategies in "digital natives," those born after the Internet arrived. It also presents Dr. Oxford's research on learning strategies associated with six models of web-based L2 learning. Finally, it shares suggestions for making the most of web-based L2 learning.  

Presenter: Rebecca Oxford is a Distinguished Scholar-Teacher and Professor at the University of Maryland. Technology-enhanced language learning is among her major research areas, along with language learning strategies. She is the advisor to the Language Resource Center project on Grammar Strategies headed up by Andrew Cohen.

Co-sponsored by CARLA and the ESL Forum.
