Abstract:

Blended synchronous learning (BSL), where some students are present in a
physical classroom while others participate online in real time, has been
gaining momentum and shows great potential for teaching less commonly taught
languages (LCTLs). In Teaching Languages in Blended Synchronous Learning
Classrooms, Alba Girons and Nicholas Swinehart provide a concise overview of
BSL as it pertains to language instruction. Topics include a number of key
factors in the BSL classroom:

• types of BSL environments
• pedagogical considerations
• group dynamics
• creating and adapting activities
• common logistical challenges
• optimal space design
• technology selection, training, and support

This practical guide will be of use to teachers, technology staff, and program
administrators, all working together to implement successful BSL programs and
ensure quality learning opportunities for every student.
