May I draw your attention to the following report at http://arcadiaproject.lib.cam.ac.uk/docs/second_life.pdf Many of you have helped me in various ways while working on the report and I'm very grateful to you all. I look forward to your comment...

Difficult one to quantify Stefanie. Most institutions who use SL are doing their classroom bit in RL and using SL for immersive practice. . The SL wiki might give you an idea how many language orientated institutions are using SL and you could asc...

I agree with Nergiz. Personally, I am not keen on the idea of a virtual classroom, especially a classroom that seeks to emulate a RL classroom - which IMHO fails to make use of the more exciting aspects of SL: virtual tourism, meeting native speak...

Counting teachers is probably equally difficult. A lot of teachers just do their own thing and don't meet or work with other teachers. How would you find them? Another question is who counts as a teacher? Would you only be interested in the profes...

Good point, Nergiz. And it explains why nobody could give me a number so far.

Why are you only interested in the number of schools or classrooms. Isn't it more interesting how many teachers there are? I'd certainly be interested in that number. Also, what is a virtual classroom for you? For some teachers it is any place in ...

Number of virtual classrooms/language schools in SL

Hi everyone, I have almost finished my final report on foreign language learning in SL and the implications for resource provision in academic libraries. Many of you have contributed to this as interview volunteers, so many thanks again for that. A couple of people who have read my draft report have suggested that I find some hard data about the number of virtual classrooms/language schools in SL. This is turning out to be very difficult to quantify. Does anybody know (at least roughly) how many… Continue

Hi Stefanie. I really must apologize to you. Just read your message.
I probably couldn't have helped you, anyway. I have not taught in SL yet. Still exploring the in-world and its possibility. Sorry. Anna

Hi Stefanie,
thanks for your email, sorry for answering so late, but I had troubles with my baby-boy Maximilian. We had to go the doctor's and hospital regularly. This took too much time, so I wasn't sure if I could arrange a meeting for you. If you still need sb. for the interview, pls feel free to contact me.
best regards Brigitte Falkner (Austria)

Hi stefanie, Are you still interviewing? I am happy to be interviewed if you feel I can be of use. I don';t teach on SL but I am looking for ideas for our language teaching staff; also looking at what SL can do to provide access to some of our course material if adequate... Just looking around really. :-)
Contact me again if not too late. All the best!

Hi Stephanie,

Sorry to have gotten back to you so late but if you are still doing the interviews I'd be happy to be interviewed. However, I am not doing any teaching or learning in SL and am quite new to Sl. If you still think it would be useful to interview me then I'd be happy to contribute. I think Skype would work better for me as I currently have some technical problems with SL.

All the best!

Dear Stefanie,

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you with a time. I'm available most times between 9.00 am CET and 4 pm CET for the two weeks from Thursday, 4th June.

Both Skype and SL work for me.

Yours,

David Richardson (Davric Rinkitink)
Kalmar, Sweden

Hi Stefanie
I am trialling SL to provide students on an intercultural competence course, with out of class cultural experiences. Most of them are language learners so they have opportunities to practice language too. Am only at initial stages of use, and not done any language teaching, but would be happy to talk. Would prefer next week or after 8 June as will be away at a conference in HK until then.

Regards

Debbie

Hi Stefanie
Thank you for your message I am flat out right now and just not sure I would be able to fit in with your timeframe. If you would like to email me some questions I would be happy to answer them as I get some time in between my hetic schedule. I am teaching full-time in RL and at weird times in SL (5am) so as you can see it is a little difficult to fit in other things. Please feel free to send me questions though.

Regards

Claire
