Sounds good, Klaus. Have you seen the rooms in the EUROCALL HQ and in our holodecks where an additional chair is automatically added when all the existing chairs are occupied? It's done by means of a script. It's great for classes and meetings whe...

EUROCALL/CALICO Virtual Worlds Special Interest Group
Following discussions between Graham Davies (EUROCALL), Randall Sadler (CALICO) and Thom Thibeault (CALICO) in early 2009, it was decided to approach EUROCALL and CALICO members with a proposal to create a joint EUROCALL/CALICO Worlds Special Interest Group (VW SIG) for teachers of modern foreign languages and English as a foreign language. A meeting, attended by 20 participants, took place on 11 September at the EUROCALL 2009 conference and it was agreed that a joint EUROCALL/CALICO VW SIG shou… Continue

Stefanie Hundsberger said… - Hi Graham,
I'm a librarian at the University of Manchester and I'm researching foreign language learning in SL and its implications for resource provision in academic libraries. I am doing this work as an Arcadia Fellow at Cambridge University Library. I would like to interview people who are actively involved in foreign language learning in SL (both students and teachers) and, preferably, who also have experience of using academic libraries as part of their foreign language learning. However, I would still like to hear from you even if you only fit into one of these two target groups. I imagine the interview won't be longer than approx. 30 min. I would be very grateful if you would be willing to participate. The interviews will take place in SL (or via Skype) over the next 3 weeks (until early June). Please send me a message and we can arrange a convenient date and time. You are very welcome to pass this message on to relevant colleagues. Many thanks!
Stefanie.

- Nice to meet you again, too, Groovy/Graham :-)
Graham, you are probably a member of the Learning Technologies SIG (IATEFL). What would be the most convincing argument to make someone (me) join?

- What a privilege to have you join our AVALON community. This is absolutely wonderful and I am extending a warm welcome on behalf of the project team.
Your expertise and many decades of insight in the field of language learning with technology is unsurpassed and to have the very founder of the CALL movement with us todate is absolutely great.
Looking forward to listening to you, Graham.
This is a great honor.

- Thanks Graham. I will surely need your advise or help. I live and work in Sweden and feel quite lonely with IWB and other interactive resources. When I worked in England I had very good opportunities for development and now I try to keep up with the incredible speed on my own; but as I mentioned before, we are here at least 5 years back in interactive teaching. Everything I do is kind of a "strange thing" for most of my colleagues. Anyway, I like it. :-)
