Masters Group 2012 Terry

July 19, 2012 we added in another heading called social networking. We also cited the references as we were going to verify what we were adding.Vanessamterry (talk) 16:30, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

We linked these Wikipedia entries: Computer-Mediated Communication, New Literacies, Second Language Aquisition, Computer Assisted Language Learning to Social Media Language Learning Vanessamterry (talk) 17:01, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

July 18, 2012 as a group of educators we felt that the entry was in need of updating. The information that was present needed referencing and we added those. We added a heading called Within the classroom setting and Outside of the classroom setting. Under the new heading Within the classroom setting we included blogging as a social media language learning practice. Under the heading Outside of the classroom setting we added a section about video games as a social media language learning practice. We also added citations to everything we entered to verify the information we are presenting.Vanessamterry (talk) 12:10, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Your additions are looking great. Thanks for all the hard work! I might go through them in a while and change the footnotes so that they are in a consistent style, and make a few other tweaks to make the article adhere more to Wikipedia's style. More importantly, though, it looks like the name "social media language learning" isn't in use outside Wikipedia, so we will need to change the title of this page. We already have a page on Computer-assisted language learning - how do you think this material would best fit in with that page? Maybe via a merge? The CALL page is already quite long though - if we're going to keep the material here, what do you think a good title for the page would be? Maybe something generic like Language learning on the internet? Let me know what you think. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 12:30, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! We are working on the footnotes now to make them in a consistent style. We will also be adding in a bit more information about social networking. We like the idea of changing the name to Language Learning on the internet. Vanessamterry (talk) 13:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Possible parallels similarities

This topic could fall under other possible categories:

• computer-mediated communication
• Communities of Inquiry - Online_learning
• Computer-assisted language learning

Other references needed

I feel this article doesn't give adequate references to some of the established pedagogical principles on which it appears to be founded:

• There's little reference to [socio cultural theory of mind] (Vygotsky).
• No reference to Stephen Krashen's (Comprehensible) Input hypothesis.
• No reference to the Competition model (Bates and MacWhinney) in which learners acquire language when it is situated and embedded in real world social interaction.
• No reference to usage based hypotheses of language acquisition in which we "learn linguistic structures through intention-reading and pattern-finding in their discourse interactions with others" Michael Tomasello.
• Any more?
