I have to excuse myself for a late dinner. It's 8:43 p.m. here.
I'll be back.

Just realized, I should exit the HOA to make room for more people. So I'll do that.
21 hours ago
But this would have added so much more to the learning experience. Great idea Chris.

I like the idea of having a repository of students´performances a sort of archive of progress, could be highly motivating
21 hours ago
Yes, I agree with you Maria. I've been trying to keep them in a googledrive file but want something for the sts to record and keep themselves. As a backup to what I keep.

How do you encourage students to listen to themselves or each other?

Does hangout not provide a chat for those who are not directly in the hangout?
21 hours ago
Nellie it does.. I know .. because I just tried it .. but I don't think anyone is checking it. Thus I'm now here :-)
Question - Are there any issues with protecting student privacy.. Do students ever have reservations about posting their recording to the general "public"? Perhaps you use this as a motivator to get them involved ... authentic recordings.
21 hours ago
Good question James...private setting would be good. I'll have a look later.

James here's the link again for the hangout.https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYcR597CvLV0izae43SxT229Zy6onJzyNvYaq6l9HEPTYeVmnA?authuser=0&hl=en

Do the students have control over the recordings? Can they delete them afterwards?
21 hours ago
James, can you add your comment in the google hangout chat?
21 hours ago
OK I'll have a look later. At the moment I'm using google drive to store 15 minute conversations which both student & myself have access to.

My first EVO session was on Podcasting and there we used Podomatic

I bring it up because it can be an issue. A student not wanting it to be "public" because of concerns that someone could be judging them on the quality of their learning or development.
.. an employer or colleague
20 hours ago
yes, students are very self conscious about their performances, one of them told me: You can burn it now!
20 hours ago
Sorry I didn't get here earlier... and my apologies if I ended up bringing up issues that you may have already addressed .
20 hours ago
Yes, we share a lot of stories about our lives & don't want these public.
20 hours ago
Yes, that's true Chris. Can you add the link to the review you wrote on google play please. I can 'google' it but this may be faster. Thanks

Just think that "public" vs "private" becomes a wonderful authentic teaching / learning moment .. and authentic "discussion" point for students to be motivated to talk to.
20 hours ago
Just curious.. how would a student know how to prepare and "succeed" in such "speaking exercises"? How to motivate them to attempt.. ?
20 hours ago
.. so should the focus be more on communicating an idea.. rather than on exact pronunciation? The pronunciation is rated according to how much it supports the communication of an idea.

Thanks Chris, Vance & Bobbie & all the rest of you. Chris see you in September at the British Council conference :o)

That was funny I was stuck & couldn't leave. Enjoy Barcelona & see you guys online soon.

James. That's what my summer project is about.. recorded conversations via skype but my mini mountain is to create some sort of tasks for sts to listen to the recordings and learn how to evaluate their progress. Not sure where to start but have the summer off work to get this going.
