My research and introduction
Dear all and webhead,
I am a teacher in English, Taiwan. At the same time, I am writing my proposal for my doctoral degree. Wish you give me suggestion and instruciton.
The focus of the research
The focus of this research has been to find a way of documenting and describing students’ learning development in English as a second language or second language acquisition (SLA)
The aim of this chapter has been to extrapolate from research conducted on the nature of SLA and development of SLA in the new technology those conepts which will be relevant to a discussion of SLA development in the process of CmC. These concepts, in particular, the concept of new information knowledge, the concept of development, and the perspectives relating to the interaction of tandem and social factors, will be taken up in the following chapter, where the contribution of SLA research and CmC will be discussed.

Hi Deril,
I'm so happy for you and your students for starting your Teacher & Students'
Blogs. Congratulations, :-)
Regarding your research, I suggest that you invite your students to create
their Online or E-Portfolios, where they can document the best work or activities
they did, including their reflections on each one describing how each activity
helped them develop their English Language skills.
E-Portfolios provide easy access to documented work for you and your students
whenever and wherever you are. And they are helpful for you to measure their
progress in terms of Second or Foreign Language Aquisition, which is the focus of your thesis.
For this kind of project, (the Students' E-Portfolios) a number of web-based
activities should be planned and designed in digital context, (4-6 activities
for instance).
The blogs your students have created can be Activity 1, which they can select
to put on their E-Portfolios including their reflections on how useful they
were in developing their writing and reading skills.
Another project can be focused on developing or improving their listening and
oral skills, for example. Skype is a wonderful program that can be integrated
in activities aiming to develop students' speaking and listening skills.
You could invite some Webhead EFL/ESL teachers with their students to interact
live and online with your class through Skype or other voice-supported technologies
or post comments to their blogs.
Students can create their E-Portfolios using WebPages or Blogs. To have an idea of what I said above, see examples of some of my science students'
e-portfolios at: < http://alothman-b.tripod.com/finalpr_2003_male.htm
> And here is a handout created for my students explaining the project including
objectives and directions: < http://alothman-b.tripod.com/finalproj_161new.htm
> , and another handout with some guidelines on how to outline their portfolios
including tutorials on how to build websites, using Geocities.com: < http://alothman-b.tripod.com/portfolio_guide161.htm
>
I hope this is helpful

Hi. Buth,
I sincerely appreciate your precious suggestions. The information is beneficial to my teaching. However I have some trouble with the mastering of using technology. I hope you can give me instruction. Thanks!
