Hausa Online

Some ideas for learning Hausa (and other less commonly taught languages) using the Internet

Is Hausa Online useful for language teaching?

Posted by hausaonline on Friday, February 8, 2008

I just found out that this my Hausa learning blog is currently used as an example in a course for language teachers at Columbia University in New York State. As an assignment, the course participants were asked to examine three different language websites or software applications:

  • one from the perspective of a LANGUAGE LEARNER (choose a language that you don’t know)
  • one from the perspective of a LANGUAGE TEACHER (choose the target language of your students)
  • one from the perspective of a LANGUAGE EXPERT (look for some behaviorist characteristics)

They were asked to post their reflections on the course’s online discussion board. Unfortunately, I do not have access to their reflections on this blog, if there are any.

Students, please post your comments about this blog and give me some input how I could improve it!
