Discussion II

This week, Heather and I had discussed the questions for students. Our group’s topic is the difference between the English-teaching of RL and SL. First of all, we should make it clear that why students would like to choose on-line English learning on Second Life. What attract them to here and begin learning? Do teachers of SL use some tools and methods which are different from RL? Is on-line teaching more professional and effective? Is on-line teaching more interesting and entertaining? And also, we tried to focus on the feature of Sl. We think when people are using Second Life, they probably don’t pay much attention to it. For example, when one is using computer, he may also watch video games, check out emails and chat with others on MSN. Therefore, on-line learning is so free! There is no one watching you. How students face this existing problem and still learn a lot from SL? We are rally eager to know it! In the class, Brooke and Alina gave us some advice and helped us amend the questionnaire. Yet we have a big problem. Our urgent mission is to find the owner. But it seemed very difficult.
