SMALL: Large Impacts on Language Learning and Social Engagement |
Social Media_Assisted Language Learning (SMALL), grounded in the tenets of connectivism, offers "new virtual ecologies that afford language learning and socialization." (Valnecia, J., 2016). Research provides deeper insights into these "new virtual ecologies" and offers a plethora of justifications, proven results, and recommendations for integration into language teaching and learning. The presenter highlights the spectrum of research-based rationale that opens the doors for greater student engagement, motivation, and interactions. |
