Subject: Call for Participants: Foreign/Second Language Teachers' Views on Learning a Language through Exposure to Informal Online Resources

 
Learning another language in online informal environments (i.e.: watching
movies, shows, videos, reading the Web, using social media in L2, etc.) is
receiving increasingly more attention, yet opinions on the effectiveness of
learning with such resources are divided. Some language educators find them
invaluable; some argue that they are messy, unstructured, and may create more
harm than good unless modified towards controlled educational purposes. 

What is your opinion as a foreign/second language educator? Do you think such
resources are helpful in learning a language or they create more chaos than
support? Are such resources useful at any level? Can people learn a language
exclusively through exposure to such informal resources? And finally, can such
resources be used in the classroom and if so, in what ways?

Please share your opinion in this 20-30 minute questionnaire on the educators’
perceptions of the pedagogical value of informal resources in L2 available on
the Internet:

Thank you very much for your contribution!
