Orsini-Jones, Marina, Ed.; Smith, Simon, Ed.

This book presents a snapshot of innovative blended learning practices that either stem from the affordances of web 2.0 technologies--Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)--or illustrate the re-purposing of 'older' ones, like the creation of tailor-made virtual learning environments, to set up telecollaborative projects or Online International Learning (OIL) projects. It is based on the papers presented at the Blending MOOCs into English Language Teacher Training (B-MELTT): Flipping the Blend through MALL, MOOCs, and (Blended) OIL?--?New Directions in CALL symposium held at Coventry University in June 2017. The symposium was supported by funding by a British Council English Language Teaching Research Award (ELTRA). The work presented in this volume can provide some ideas on pedagogically sound ways of blending technology into higher education curriculums to enhance both the digital literacy and the intercultural awareness of all stakeholders involved. Following notes on contributors, acknowledgments, the dedication and preface, this volume contains the following papers: (1) Mobile assistance for personal learning on a massive scale (Agnes Kukulska-Hulme); (2) MOOCs as a new technology: Approaches to normalising the MOOC experience for our learners (Stephen Bax); (3) What our MOOC did next: Embedding, exploiting, and extending an existing MOOC to fit strategic purposes and priorities (Kate Borthwick); (4) Integrating a MOOC into the MA curriculum: An 'expert' student's reflections on blended learning (Minh Tuan Phi); (5) Understanding learner autonomy through MOOC-supported blended learning environments: An investigation into Chinese MA ELT students' beliefs (Yan Jiao); (6) OIL for English for business: The intercultural product pitch (Andrew Preshous, An Ostyn, and Nicole Keng); (7) A role-reversal model of telecollaborative practice: The student-driven and student-managed FloCo (Elwyn Lloyd, Abraham Cerveró-Carrascosa, and Courtney Green); (8) Chinese segmentation and collocation: A platform for blended learning (Simon Smith); and (9) Student-teachers' beliefs concerning the usability of digital flashcards in ELT (Marwa Alnajjar and Billy Brick). An author index is included. Individual papers contain references.
