Investigating the impact of a “flipped” online exchange in teacher education

Abstract:
This talk will outline the pedagogical design for teacher education that combines flipped materials, in-class instruction and telecollaboration (also known as Virtual Exchange) for foreign language teacher education. The talk will present classroom ethnographic data sources (face-to-face and online discussion groups, student e-portfolios) to look at if and when there is uptake of ideas, conceptual understanding and successful transfer of new knowledge with the aim of identifying key features of the design that provide relevant learning opportunities for future language teachers.
