Common Strategies of Innovation
From interviews and observations at four institutions
1. Forming collaborative teaching teams2. Building blended learning platforms3. Creating, configuring, and sharing
multi-media teaching materials 4. Adopting action research approaches

Kanda University of International Studies: Collaborative Research Teams
Seven research teams (5-8 teachers each)
Proficiency Project I (BEPP English)Proficiency Project II (BEPP IC)Proficiency Project III (BEPP ILC)Proficiency Test Project (KEPT)Internet Research Project (IRP)Read/Write Skills ProjectSelf-access Research (SRG)

Critical Questions?• What is a good language learning community?• What are the most authentic collaborative projects that
both “educate” and teach a new language? And how decide/negotiate?
• How create beginner/veteran teams, inside/outside exchanges, and multiple teacher/learner roles?
• How mix face-to-face/paper/online technologies and configure the learning process?
Is SLA a useful framework for modeling collaborative, blended language learning?

Changes in Metaphors
• Ecology, not…
inputs & outputs
• Environments, not… solitary learner
• Roles, not… cognition
• Actions/Norms, not…
rules, skills, strategies
• Interfaces, not… textbooks
• Project-based learning, not…
task-based learning

Changes in Theories
• Linguistic theories: SLI
• Psychological theories: SLA
• Socio-cultural theories: SLS

Shortcomings of SLA1. Disregard of environment2. Clumsy handling of roles and role-changing3. Ignored spaces4. Focus on single learner5. Focus on psychological processes
Need a theoretical framework that handles:Purposes/projects/actions/tasks: intentionalityRoles: multiplicity, variable contextsSpaces: semioticsCommunities/environments/collaborative groups: intersubjectivity, distributed cognition

Changes in Research Design
• Experiments to Ethnographies– isolated variables to web of variables
• Classroom to Institution– lone teacher to change-oriented teams
• Agnostic to Critical– outsider observation to insider action research
![Page 19: CALL SIG Symposium](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568151ad550346895dbfdcef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Changes in Research AnalysisHow design a language learning environment?
• Affordances– environments at the micro level - lessons, interfaces– environments at the macro level - institutional policies, spaces,
programs
• Semiotics– Human-machine-space hybrid networks– power imbalances
• Relations/Actions– Agent oriented modeling (Gu, 2006)– Action-based learning (van Lier, 2007)

ConclusionsHow should language learning institutions innovate?
1. Form collaborative teaching teams2. Build blended learning platforms3. Design communities with multiple roles 4. Create, configure, and share
multi-media teaching materials 5. Adopt action research approaches
based on socio-cultural theories/SLS
