Work package 5: Preparing for the Teacher Training Course
Overall summary
The main aim of this work package was to design a teacher training course to be used to train language teachers in Second Life. We created a Moodle area for the course where we put up the syllabus and schedule for the course and the resources that would be useful for the tutors and the trainees enrolled on the course. In this workpackage we also prepared a report detailing all the stages of the preparation of the language teacher training course.

Moodle courseware
This courseware includes the six week schedule of the course, outlining the aims and objectives of each week's session, a variety of resources aimed to help the trainees and the tutors, a theoretical conceptualisation of teaching and learning in Second Life that created the basis for the design of the course content Second Life conceptualisation.doc , a discussion forum where teachers shared thoughts and experiences and other materials and resources that trainees could refer to when they need to after the course has ended.
Access to the Moodle site is through the guest login and is available to everyone.
