Title: The Best Sites Where Students Can Plan Virtual Trips
Body: From http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org A nice geography lesson is to have students plan a trip to some location (or locations). There are several web tools that make doing this pretty easy — it’s just a matter of identifying where you want to go, looking through the sites to see in those places, and then “dragging-and-dropping” them onto a list that you can subsequently post on a student or teacher website/blog. Most of these sites also allow you to write a description of your trip (and why you chose the places you did), but students can do the same on their own site, too. Even better, most of these sites also let users comment on places they have visited, which make them an excellent place for students to write for an authentic audience about locations they have really visited (which can include local spots). Read a list of the sites that are most accessible to English Language Learners and let them plan these kinds of virtual trips at http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2009/09/08/the-best-sites-where-students-can-plan-virtual-trips

Empirical studies are particularly encouraged and critical review pieces are also welcome. The editors seek original submissions that represent diverse research methodological and theoretical approaches including (but not limited to): Psycholinguistics Human-computer interaction Ecological approaches Conversation analysis Critical applied linguistics/critical pedagogy Corpus and/or computational linguistics Cognitive neuroscience Discourse analysis Interactional sociolinguistics Language socialization Systemic functional linguistics Interaction approach to SLA Sociocognitive approaches Cultural-historical activity theory and/or Vygotskian sociocultural theory Linguistic anthropology Cultural studies Communication theory Each author will be expected to provide a concise description of the SLA approach and/or research methodology employed in the article, important research and pedagogical findings produced from this framework, and to address the strengths and limitations of the theory in relationship to applied linguistics research, pedagogical practice and technology design. Please send inquiries and suggestions for contributions to both Steve Thorne (stevenlthorne@gmail.com) and Bryan Smith (bryansmith@asu.edu).
