 * The M.O.O.C. and EFL Instruction: Language in Context **

Massively Open Online Courses could change the face of higher education forever. They might also change how foreign languages are learned. This presentation will be a report about action research I have performed that focuses on using M.O.O.C.'s as tool for teaching English as a Foreign Language. The presentation will include my findings as well as recommendations for implementation, course selection, learning measurement issues, as well as the larger issue of whether a M.O.O.C. provides a suitable context for language learning.
