CASLA through a social constructivist perspective: WebQuest in project-driven language learning
af David Manchola
1. students spend time USING the information and not looking for it. Improving input and output L2 process.
2. CASLA
2.1. This point sees how to use computers in second language learning.
2.1.1. this provides an enviroment to learning where learners can track their progress of the comprenhension of target language
3. This method it´s based on
4. Jean Piaget (Individual Constructivism
4.1. ''He believed that children construct knowledge based on their experiences through interaction with the social and physical enviroment.
4.2. Mind has mental structures (Schemata). Schemata are use to process and identify information.
5. the most influential proponents
6. Propose that learners construct their knowledge by their interaction and reflecting their own experiencies.
7. by
7.1. INTERACTION with their social and phisical envorioment
7.2. REFLECTING on their experencies
8. It's a method of second language acquisition that claims learner becomes the center of learning and he is in charge to construct his own knowledge.
9. Constructivism theory
10. the main points of WebQuest are
11. Improve computer skills such as word processing, picture manipulation and page design.
12. WebQuest contains links where students will find extra information and they can improve their knowledge.
12.1. They put content in context; also, involve students in roles promoting cooperative and collaborative learning .
12.2. They include photograps, maps, text, charts, videos, and others multimodal tools.
13. WebQuest
14. It can be by projects as
15. acquisition and tracking of CASLA
16. this aspect of this theory is use to
17. this process is acquired by
17.1. input: reading and listening.
18. this process is check by
18.1. output: Oral or writting. Learners proves his language comprenhension.
19. Learners connect new with prior information to acquire L2
19.1. the process could be
19.1.1. positive transfer: Is when tow languages are similar
19.1.2. negative transfer - interference: Two languages are different.
20. second language acquisition (SLA)
20.1. because
20.1.1. This theory supports the idea that computers creat a intersocial connection used to create a appropriate enviroment of L2 learning.
