Dekita advocates participatory uses of Web applications in EFL/ESL teaching; we favor open approaches to language learning in which students get to engage the public Web instead of being locked into narrowly circumscribed online spaces.
Dekita highlights and showcases the writings and other artefacts shared online by EFL/ESL students involved in such open courses. The site also points out and discusses issues related to open sharing in language learning contexts.
In addition, Dekita serves as a means for learners, educators, and other interested parties to locate courses and students worldwide: The Dekita Exchange offers a continuously updated list of relevant courses while the Orchard provides immediate access to the artefacts produced in such courses and to the conversations that emerge from them.
