KoreaKast is a reflective blog that tracks my adventure as a language teacher learning Korean online. The blog has been maintained as part of a pilot study for my Teachers as Online Language Learners (TOLL) project, which aims to give language teachers an avenue of self-access, experiential learning in language, education and educational technologies. The TOLL project is in development as a part of my MA TESOL studies at the University of Leeds, UK, and makes up part of my greater research on Educational Technology as a Foreign Language.
Although the pilot instalments of KoreaKast have been concluded, the blog serves as an example of how blogs can be used to encourage reflective language learning and develop metacognitive (or "thinking about thinking") skills. I hope the successful elements of the blog can be replicated by language teachers, in their own learning process, but also in guiding their students to independent learning. For more information on this research, please visit the links provided. Certain pages are under construction and will be completed shortly.
