Reply to Michael and detailed request to all. Hi Michael, Thank you for your reply. Though I am looking at the virtual language learning from didactics point of view, my special interest is to see how participation is influenced by various factors, which include teachers' role. I have some references for language learning in virtual worlds, if you like, I would love to share with you. By the way, I am very appreciated that if you and others know any English course in SL or in another virtual world (by English course I mean English is used as the communication tool, but not necessarily a course to learn or teach English), I am very appreciated that you would like to share with me. Thanks! I am also waiting response from others who know any course of this kind. Thanks! On 12/5/11 6:37 PM, "Havice, Michael" <michael.havice@marquette.edu> wrote:
Hi Everyone:
I'm responding to Airong Wang's request.
I am investigating how to teach in virtual worlds. While didactic approaches appear more easy to accomplish in virtual worlds; I am looking into how teachers might use active learning or problem based learning strategies to engage students.
Airwong Wang: Contact me if you would like to share theories and methodologies you are investigating. michael.havice@marquette.edu
Of course, I am interested in conversations with anyone researching how to teach/learn in virtual environments.
Thank you.

Hi all,
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Sweden majoring in subject didactics. I am looking for an English course running in Second Life or in another 3D virtual world to collect data for my doctoral thesis. I am very appreciated that if you know a course of this kind, you would like to share some information with me.
Thanks!
