Cooperative Learning in Virtual Space: A Critical Look at New Ways of Foreign Language Teacher Education
By Marja Zibelius
Published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag GmbH + Co. KG
The present study combines research from the fields of cooperative learning and computer-mediated cooperation with recent findings from research on foreign language teacher education and development. In particular, it provides insights into the functioning of (tele-)collaboration among a cohort of prospective foreign language teachers who participate in a blended learning teacher development program. A large proportion of research on Cooperative Learning (CL) to date has concentrated on situations where the cooperating partners have the opportunity of working together by sharing face-to-face contact. With the increasing popularity of virtual learning scenarios, the question arises as to whether the defining principles of CL can be transferred to digital environments where partners share little or no face-to-face contact. This study takes the CL approach as a starting point and discusses a transfer of insights from this area to the field of cooperation in an online learning environment.

Ninth International Conference on Language Teacher Education
Changes and Challenges in Language Teacher Education
May 14–16, 2015
Minneapolis
The mission of this unique biennial conference is to address the education of teachers of all languages, at all instructional and institutional levels, and in all the many national and international contexts in which this takes place, including: English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) instruction; foreign/modern/world language teaching; bilingual education; immersion education; indigenous and minority language education; heritage language education; and the teaching of less commonly taught languages. The conference aims to bring together teacher educators from these many contexts to discuss and share research, theory, and best practices and to initiate and sustain meaningful professional dialogue across languages, levels, and settings. The conference will focus on the following four broad themes:
The Knowledge Base of Language Teacher Education
Social, Cultural, and Political Context of Language Teacher Education
Collaborations in Language Teacher Education
Processes of Language Teacher Education
Registration is now open. Early bird registration ends April 1, and regular registration ends May 7.
