LdL has recently attracted attention again. Yesterday, Christian Spannagel gave an internet-mediated talk on wikis, weblogs and Twitter at the GAL conference (German association of applied linguists). LdL was a central element in his talk. Here is the recording: http://tinyurl.com/gal09recording
Already some weeks ago, Jean-Pol Martin was visited by a journalist from the renowned magazine GEO Wissen. (Two weeks ago, a few of us LdLians were photographed for this article which is to come out in the November issue).
Last Saturday, Jean-Pol Martin and I were invited to give the two keynote speeches on LdL at a conference that Christian Spannagel and his team had organized. Materials, reports and videos (including my own speech) are available on Christian Spannagel’s LdL site.
In addition, Lutz Berger has published a teaser for my speech on YouTube:
Last Saturday I gave a one-hour talk on Lernen durch Lehren (LdL), with video clips from the 4th and the 2nd class, at the 6th Heilbronner Bildungskongress—in front of an audience of 600 people. There were also people in the audience who told very positively from their own experiences with LdL. Jean-Pol Martin, too, talked in front of a large audience (300 people) at Bregenz recently. These events are proofs for the growing acceptance and use of LdL and also for the dissemination and promotion of LdL.
Last Friday I gave a talk on Basic Global English at a linguistic conference in Freiburg in front of about 40 people. Several colleagues gave me positive feedback and it seems that more colleagues are interested and willing in cooperating with me.
