Teacher and Professional Development Empowering Learners Through Cross-Cultural Online Learning and PBL more

Sat, Nov 13, 14:45-16:00 Asia/Tokyo

This presentation will describe an exploratory study conducted in Japan and Nepal of lower secondary school students and their teachers who engage in PBL projects they create collaboratively through a learning server that also includes channels for learner autonomy and professional development. Specifically, we will share strategies for empowering teachers through cross-cultural professional development and collaboration. We believe such strategies will strongly enhance students’ language learning for their empowerment.
