A web-based project for self-empowerment in language learning
by Yoko Hirata
International Journal of Innovation and Learning (IJIL), Vol. 9, No. 1, 2011

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine Japanese students' perceptions of a web-based project which was aimed at encouraging students to make the most of various student-selected websites for lifelong learning. The project was intended to provide students with ample opportunities to use the web as a multi-purpose tool to accomplish various real-life meaningful tasks, such as an arrangement of a detailed itinerary for their own business trip to the USA. This student-centred, socially oriented language project was introduced to a blended learning course for undergraduate Japanese university students.
