Nini is Virginie Segaut from France, presently a student in Education at the University of Technology of Sydney. She opened a blog at Incsub last March to help her organize and record her progress into e-learning and foreign languages.
She reflects on the methodology and pedagogy employed at French schools and universities and questions the traditional way of teaching. In the post What is Learning a Foreign Language she discusses her own perspective, and based on a paper by Professor Steve McCarty, also mentions the issues and difficulties that may arise when using the same approach towards e-learning in different cultural and disciplinary contexts.
Although she believes in the potential of ICT in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning , her first experience attending an English course online seems to have been frustrating and disappointing.
