    Analysing student participation in Foreign Language MOOCs: a case study
    (P.A.U. Education, 2014) Bárcena Madera, María Elena; Read, Timothy Martin; Martín Monje, Elena María; Castrillo de Larreta-Azelain, María Dolores
    This article discusses the theoretical aspects and practical applications of foreign language massive open online courses (henceforth, LMOOCs). Firstly, LMOOCs are presented as a fairly recent didactic modality that has emerged with an enormous potential for rich, flexible, and attractive collaborative learning and social interaction, in a world where huge economic unbalance gives rise to people with very different access opportunities to both formal language training and the diverse communicative scenarios that enhance the development of language competences. Secondly, the article also analyses the opposing views of LMOOCs presented by skeptical experts. While the practicality of this educational model is generally accepted as providing ‘useful experiences’ with more or less epistemological value, there is still some fundamental doubt that this educational model will actually be useful in helping students gain a command of a foreign language. Thirdly and finally, some of the conventional course quality factors are questioned, namely student participation, dropout and satisfaction. This will be illustrated with data from a sample course undertaken by Bárcena and Martín-Monje: “Professional English”, the first LMOOC in Spain, with over 40,000 students.

    State of the art of language learning design using mobile technology: sample apps and some critical reflection
    (Research-publishing.net, 2015-12-02) Bárcena Madera, María Elena; Read, Timothy Martin; Underwood, Joshua; Obari, Hiroyuki; Cojocnean, Diana; Koyama, Toshiko; Pareja-Lora, Antonio; Calle, Cristina; Pomposo, Lourdes; Talaván Zanón, Noa; Ávila Cabrera, José Javier; Ibáñez Moreno, Ana; Vermeulen, Anna; Jordano, María; Arús-Hita, Jorge; Rodríguez Arancón, Pilar; Castrillo de Larreta-Azelain, María Dolores; Kétyi, Andras; Selwood, Jaime; Gaved, Mark; Kukulska-Hulme, Agnes
    In this paper, experiences from different research groups illustrate the state-of-the-art of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (henceforth, MALL) in formal and non-formal education. These research samples represent recent and on-going progress made in the field of MALL at an international level and offer encouragement for practitioners who are trying to incorporate these approaches into mainline second language teaching. Furthermore, researchers interested in the field can see that the work presented here exemplifies how fertile it is, which should hopefully serve as motivation to undertake new studies to move the state-of-the-art further on
