These skills will be of two kinds: Firstly, the internet has introduced various tools and resources that can extend learning possibilities. Web 2.0 provides various online tools, including wikis, blogs, and video conferencing (e.g., skype). The web also provides online resources, such as web quests, treasure hunts and learning platforms such as Cultura, etwinning and etandem. This course will explore the use of these tools and resources in the language classroom. We will then move on to focus on the development of language learning and intercultural competence in online exchanges. Secondly, language corpora can be used to enhance the classroom experience in several ways. For the teacher, corpora can be used to improve their understanding of classroom interactions, and of the language learning process itself. For instance, teachers can collect transcripts of classroom sessions, and analyse these to discover the recurrent patterns of interaction between teachers and students. Alternatively, a 2 de 6

3 corpus of student writings can be explored to identify what students do wrong, and thus target teaching to their problem areas. b) Competencias / Skills: E14: Know how to use computer programs to analyse linguistic data, corpora as tools for language description and for the teaching of English as a foreign language, and also new technologies. G6: Be able to collect ans statistically analyse linguistic data from distinct sources and with distinct methodologies (questionaires, experiments, corpora, etc.,) and know how to present the results in the form of charts, tables, etc. E8: Know the methods and characteristics of the different approaches to corpus linguistics applied to the English language. E12: Be able to use the instruments of discourse analysis to classroom practices. E15: To have an analytical attitude to linguistic evidence and show initiative in solving technical and procedural problems in the use of the scientific method. c) Learning results: 1. Know how to use new technologies to enhance language learning. 2. Know how to use language corpora to analyse classroom interaction and explore student proficiency. 3. Know how students can use language corpora to learn about language. Contenidos del programa / Course contents 1.

Métodos docentes / Teaching methodology The teaching-learning methodology includes the following activities: 4 de 6

5 A. Contact activities (seven sessions of four hours of classes plus programmed tutorials): Theoretical and practical classes: four-hour sessions in which the teacher presents the content of the course, and then the students applies these theoretical concepts in discussions, surveys, tasks, oral presentation, etc., to deepen their understanding of the issues. Tutorial monitoring: programmed sessions to monitor student progress. Invited Seminars: seminars on various topics related to Applied Linguistics in English and taught by experts. Online work: online tasks aimed at monitoring student progress, discussion forums, collaborative creation of course webpage (wiki) etc. (These are 'contact sessions in that these tasks will involve online interaction with between teacher and student). B. Non-contact activities: Readings: guided reading of theoretical references. Practical exercises: summaries, critical analysis of readings, to be discussed both in classes and online. Preparation of final year assignment: working in teams under teacher s supervision (formulating a hypothesis, design, data collection and analysis, analysis, presentation of findings, citing references, publication ). 3.
