As part of the AVALON Project, we piloted a Teacher Training Course for language teachers in Second Life. The Teacher Training Handbook consists of teaching guidelines that have emerged from the Teacher Training Course. It is hoped that this manual will be helpful resource for teachers around the world who would like to start teaching languages in Second Life.

Avalon Language Teacher Training Course

Trainer Handbook

 

This handbook has been prepared as an outcome of a pilot teacher training Course that took place in Second Life as part of the AVALON Project (see http://avalon-project.ning.com/). The pilot took place between 15 February and 30 March 2010. The course was aimed at language teachers who were not yet familiar with Second Life but wanted to explore its potential for language teaching. The language teachers who participated in the teacher training course came from a variety of European countries and they taught a variety of languages. Although the activities suggested in this handbook are for the teaching and learning of English, it is up to the teacher using this handbook to adapt the language and activities (if necessary) to suit their own teaching context.

 

The activities and tasks presented in this handbook are adopted from those that were used in the pilot Teacher Training Course. It is the aim of the project to include this handbook in the project’s wiki so that teachers who wish to use this handbook may also make contributions to it to develop it further. If you have used resources and tasks that have been particularly successful, please include these as suggestions in this handbook. In this way a wider community of language teachers may find resources/ideas that address their teaching needs.  

 

This handbook will provide guidelines for lessons in a weekly format. Each week would normally consist of two sessions. There will be suggestions for lesson plan ideas for each session, however the aims indicated will be for the week and session by session in order to make this handbook more flexible for your use. You may choose to cover the aims of the week by giving different weight to the hours you wish to spend on them.
