DUE WEEK 7, February 26: BLOG POST 4 -- Please write about the teaching and research applications of CLICKERS in the language classroom. If you can, provide research questions/sample activities or briefly discuss the advantages and/or limitations of this device related to ESL and SLA constructs. You could also write about how to further develop this technology to match particular skills and strategies that are necessary in language teaching (or to address learner personality factors in the classroom).
We have mentioned in the class how important it is to conduct empirical research on the measurable benefits of clickers (or, in general, CALL-TELL) for ESL/EFL. Would it be possible for you to use clickers for your own classroom-based research in the future? How would you design this study?
