一、主講人：鄭東萍副教授（夏威夷大學二語研究系）

二、時間與地點：  

三、講座內容：

The first of fourtalks addresses the confluence of design in relation to space-time,sociocultural places, activity and virtual artifacts in a multiuser 3D virtuallearning environment (3D VLE). Congruent with ecological and dialogicalperspectives in which sense-making is contingent on the relational dynamics ofmeshwork of these aspects, this talk will be situated in a design-basedresearch project that focuses on designing problem-solving spaces thatencourage meaning-making in situ, manipulation of virtual objects within placesand coordination among players.

The second talk willbe focused on the argument for the need of project-based learning andplace-based learning in the 21st century education in the social affordances ofmobile technologies. The following points will be specially demonstrated: 1)how we can design mobile games to encourage distributed language learning; 2)how this immersion experience in real physical places affects linguistic andcultural acquisition and communication in situ; and 3) how (trans)languaging isdynamically executed in the wild with virtual content present.

In the third talk,suggestions will be made to rethink the following issues on language teachereducation: 1) From student-centered pedagogy to a networked distributed system;2) From task-based learning to project-based learning; 3) From learner-teacherrelationship to novice-expert dynamics. In addition to an advocacy of rethinkingour current language education models, the speaker will share some methods,experiences and insights on how to create a distributed system in which bothnovices and experts are held accountable for learning.

In the fourth talk,the speaker will provide an account of designing a new learning space that hasthe potential of bridging the sociocultural material-laden spaces and schoolspaces. This new learning space is mobile, agent-driven, literacy-focused,socioculural and ecological.
