I obtained my Ph.D. in second language education in 1995 from OISE/U of T. Since then I’ve been teaching at the dept. of foreign languages and linguistics of Shiraz University, Iran. I teach graduate courses mainly “research methods”, and “methodology”. I am interested in e-learning and in trying to find out the principles and usages.

I'm relatively new to CALL so this is a great opportunity for me to learn more. I hold an MA in TESL/Linguistics from Iowa State University and I'm planning to return to the same university for a PhD in Instructional Technology next Fall, which makes this online session even more important to me. I've been teaching EFL and ESP in Brazil since 1995.

I'd like to share with you a promising project we are implementing in both South Africa and Egypt to use ICT in Education in collaboration with Open University - London - UK. We have planned DEEP to enable educators involved in the project to learn about and use new Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for teaching and learning. We already know that - if wisely selected and imaginatively used - ICT can be an important element of the toolkit of effective, creative and inspirational teachers in the 21st century. As educators we need to be able to show our learners how ICT can be a valuable tool of enquiry and communication, and how it can facilitate new ways of learning. DEEP gives the opportunity to explore these ideas with colleagues and learners in the classrooms. The project introduce a range of Professional Development Activities. Each Professional Development Activity is built around a Classroom Task, to be carried out with pupils.The DEEP website: http://crete-ou.org/deep/ For more information and details, please click the following link: http://www.open.ac.uk/deep/index.html

Originally I am from Turkey. Before I started the PhD program in applied linguistics I was teaching English at a University in Turkey. My students are freshman students, 18 to 21 years. I did my MA in TEFL at Bilkent University in Turkey. I am interested in computer assisted language learning and my MA thesis was on CALL lab design. I use internet nearly everyday to serch for information and make reservations etc.. I think it makes our lives easier plus it has a lot to offer for language teaching.

My name's James/Jim (your choice) Farmer . You can get a rather dodgy picture of me (and some students work) at the bottom of: http://www.language.latrobe.edu.au/students/Jim's%20mail.html (I'm the one on the right!). I teach general and academic English at La Trobe University Language Centre where I also coordinate their CALL & ICT needs (from a pedagogical rather than technical POV). I ended up in Australia in January 2000 via Japan & the U.K. and am planning on staying here indefinitely. I'm extremely interested in 'unplugging' CALL (i.e. escaping from these huge materials driven CALL packages and looking at what really makes courses tick, i.e. people!), and Yahoo! groups usage in teacher development and with students as a big part of that. I'm looking forward to this!

I taught EFL in London in the 1970s and Sweden from 1980. Since 1986 have worked mainly in Swedish-to-English translation (which often involves teaching clients). Now interested in getting back into teaching more directly, this time 'virtually' (e.g. by interactive, personalised e-mail courses) rather than in a real classroom, and not only with Swedish students. My 'Sweet Clarity' newsletter contains language-related articles and I write teaching material. Plan to make the articles and material available on my web site when (if ever) I finally get my act together and launch one! Interested in partnership with a kindred spirit for this purpose.

Just call me Ali , that's easy to remember... I'm an English teacher trainer here in Rabat, the capital of Morocco. I have been mainly trained in applied linguistics and language teaching methodology. My IT/CALL training has been very very patchy and I think I'm still toddling at the CALL threshhold. I like swimming and, until further notice, cybersurfing too! And like Dave, I have my share in another tremendous job with our two daughters...but it's a lot of fun too.

I am enjoying the learning aspect of constructing my own site using Dreamweaver. It is still under construction and if you would like to take a look at it, I would appreciate any comments. http://www.m-z.biz Just click where it says "Test Site" or click on the construction image.
I have been an ESL teacher for the past 10 years and I have been interested in integrating technology with our curriculum. I am taking a graduate course at Pepperdine University in Educational Technology. What has really captured my attention is online learning for ESL students. I am very interested in setting up our own online learning environment and somehow connecting it to our Distance Learning program. I am the lead teacher for our ESL labs.

Last year I spent some time coining computer words in the Welsh language. Minority languages are sidelined even more through the inadequate use of the web. There are still 2,000 words in Welsh which cannot be sent by e mail, mainly as a consequence of poor definition of morph,digraph and trigraph by W3 consortium committees. I am continuing Welsh alongside English instruction.

I have become increasingly interested in the prospect of motivating my students in Spanish classes through different types of activities online, including CMC. It has been my experiences that many students enjoy technology and most are motivated by the opportunity it affords them to reach out to other learners or native speakers of the target language and establish a sense of community that can be quite satisfying and enriching. So I joined your group to learn from all of you about how you are using these types of virtual tools in your language-related teaching and learning. I believe in their benefit, but I am interested in doing more researsh in terms of how to apply them.
