@inbook{bortoluzzi2013yelling, abstract = {The paper focuses on an ongoing project in which Collaborative Virtual Communities use a social platform to promote a humanistic view of teacher training within the framework of Partnership Studies, life-long learning and reflexive socio-constructivism respectful of cultural variety and practices. The social platform YELL/TELL (Young English Language Learners / Teen English Language Learners) offers support and tools to improve pre-service and in-service teacher training on the basis of sharing resources, commenting and reflecting on them in the spirit of Open Educational Resources and peer-learning/peer-teaching practices. Thanks to the collaboration with the L3S Research Center in Hanover, the YELL and TELL communities can use the social platform LearnWeb2.0 adapted to the needs of the users. The paper focuses on how the platform is used by trainers, trainees and teachers (including all levels of education from nursery to academia) to promote peer-learning / peer-teaching, share, find materials, reflect on teaching practice, improve on it and meet to discuss along the lines of an informed, critical and reflective practice. In conclusion, further developments of the project are outlined.}, added-at = {2014-01-07T15:49:15.000+0100}, address = {Udine}, author = {Bortoluzzi, Maria and Marenzi, Ivana}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2c98477986cc8cf5d3fc6a01056596329/marenzi}, editor = {Natale, A.R. and Dolce, M.R. and Mercanti, S. and Colomba, C.}, interhash = {8254edb7c81f5192f43e0d07506460f4}, intrahash = {c98477986cc8cf5d3fc6a01056596329}, keywords = {learnweb20 myown sysrelevantforl3s}, pages = {249-262}, publisher = {FORUM EDITRICE}, timestamp = {2014-08-27T15:16:52.000+0200}, title = {YELLing for Partnership: A social platform for sharing practice and reflection in teacher training for language learning}, volume = {The Tapestry of the Creative Word in Anglophone Literatures}, year = 2013 }
