Moodle 1.9 for Second Language Teaching
Extended activities reinforce the key features of communicative language teaching outlined in Chapter 1, What does Moodle offer language teachers?. In particular, they:
Allow us to set up integrated skills work
Create more opportunities for iterative work, which, with appropriate feedback from teachers, can further develop language skills
Create more opportunities for peer-to-peer interaction
Allow us to incorporate a variety of feedback types
Can lead to a greater sense of achievement in students
Many of the activities in earlier chapters illustrate integrated activities in that they combine two or more skills. Here are just a few examples:
