Although they predate web 2.0, asynchronous discussion boards are often associated with it because of their interactive and potentially collaborative nature. They are also a common feature of many other web 2.0 platforms, like blogs and wikis. Contemporary discussion boards, which have a more web 2.0 presentation and feel, allow you to exchange not only text but images, audio and video.

- ► what - A discussion board (also known by other names, including discussion forum, online forum or the older term bulletin board) is a place where participants can engage in conversation organised into topic-based discussion threads. Unlike chat and IM, which are typically synchronous, discussion boards are usually asynchronous, meaning that participants do not have to be logged in at the same time but can read and respond to each other's messages whenever convenient. Of course, many asynchronous tools can be used synchronously, and some synchronous tools can be used asynchronously, so there's a blurred area between the two.

The image on the top left shows an excerpt from a discussion thread (a list of replies to a single initial posting) on a language teacher training discussion board in a VLE. Only the title of each posting can be seen in this view, but participants would be able to access full postings by clicking on the titles in the list. Students have been anonymised but each coloured bar represents a single participant.

- ► why - Asynchronous discussion boards have a number of educational advantages, most notably the sophisticated level of discussion which typically takes place there. Over many years of research, it has been established that this is due to the combination of interaction and reflection facilitated by such boards: essentially, participants are engaged in conversation, and can thus bounce ideas off each other as they collaboratively build understanding, but because the conversation takes place in writing they also have time to reflect on others' messages and to compose their own replies carefully. In addition, the conversation is typically very democratic (because everyone has a chance to say as much as he or she wishes) and multidirectional (with participants able to follow the discussion threads which are of most relevance or interest to them personally). All in all, discussion boards are a great way of promoting collaborative learning and, if structured carefully, can lead to the development of effective learning communities. When they involve a multilingual and/or multicultural cohort of students, they are also a great way of developing intercultural competence. The asynchronous aspect is particularly useful in international courses, where participants may be located in different time zones.

- ► how - You can set up a freestanding discussion board using a dedicated discussion board service, or else you can use the inbuilt discussion boards within a VLE, wiki or social networking site. Even blogs contain modified discussion boards in the form of the comments feature.

- ► where - If you want to set up a freestanding asynchronous discussion board, you can use a variety of providers, including Boardhost, Forumotion, FreeForums.org, Vanilla and many others, which can be located through a simple web search. Alternatively, you can set up a discussion board in Google Groups or, as noted above, within a VLE, wiki or social networking site.

- ► examples - For examples of wiki-based discussion boards, see the Stromatolites discussion page underpinning the Stromatolites page on the Y11 Evolution wiki, or the Cold War discussion page on the APUSH-Evans wiki. Politically and socially oriented conversations can be found on the discussion boards of the international youth organisation TakingITGlobal. TED Conversations is a discussion service set up in association with TED Talks in 2011. Omgili is a search engine for discussion boards and forums.

- ► dangers - Using a discussion board has pedagogical advantages, as discussed above, but text-based online discussion is much more time-consuming than participating in a face-to-face discussion. While having additional time to compose responses can be beneficial for non-native or less confident speakers, any errors in writing may be more obvious and will be permanently preserved in a published format. It is also important to bear cultural issues in mind. The conventions of Anglophone academic or educational discussion don't necessarily hold everywhere in the world and it's vital to take this into consideration when working with multicultural cohorts of students.

- ► variations - One interesting variation is the problem-oriented discussion board Solvr. Qhub and Shapado allow you to create Q & A message boards, while Spring.me (formerly Formspring) is a more general space for posting questions. Another variation takes the form of multimedia message boards like Lino, Padlet (formerly Wallwisher) and PinDax, where postings resemble sticky notes and can be rearranged as desired. See for example Nik Peachey's Padlet discussion board, Web 2.0 Tools for Teachers, embedded below. Audio discussion boards can be set up through Gong or Voxopop.

My name is Francesca and I teach in a primary school in the second grade, since last year I attended a E-twinning project of modern art in English and I have used many tools to communicate and exchange ideas with colleagues and students from different nationalities. I used Skype pr video-audio connections, Voky, Padlet, Google docs - form to questionnaires etc.

I think that students enjoy using technology for learning foreign languages ​​and who prefer to use technology than more traditional methods.

In fact, the students tend to be more engaged in the learning process and have a more positive attitude towards learning. In particular, students perceive the use of the computer as an innovative and attractive learning method and the 'teaching has a positive effect on student motivation.

However in the early grades of primary school the lack of knowledge of English terms could represent a limitation to Clil lesson but can be greatly facilitated by the images and media technology, video images, etc.

Celebrated during the early months of the year, Chinese New Year marks the transition from winter to spring

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Introduction

Chinese New Year celebrations were born out of fear and myth. Legend spoke of the wild beast Nien (which also is the word for "year") that appeared at the end of each year, attacking and killing villagers. Loud noises and bright lights were used to scare the beast away, and the Chinese New Year celebrations were born. Today, the 15-day New Year festivities are celebrated with a week of vacation in metropolitan areas of China. Much like the Western New Year (January 1st), the biggest celebration is on the eve of the holiday. At the turn of the new year, firework displays are put on throughout the city.

Traditions

Aside from New Year's Eve, there are other important days of the 15-day Chinese New Year Festival, including:

JIE CAI CENG: Welcoming the Gods of Wealth and Prosperity
On the fifth day of New Year's, it is believed that the gods of prosperity come down from the heavens. Businesses will often participate in setting off firecrackers as they believe it will bring them prosperity and good fortune for their business.

YUAN XIAO JIE: Festival of Lanterns
The 15th day of the New Year is known as the Festival of Lanterns and marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. All types of lanterns are lit throughout the streets and often poems and riddles are often written for entertainment.

There are also paper lanterns on wheels created in the form of either a rabbit or the animal of the year (Dog for 2018). The rabbit lantern stems from a Chinese myth or fairytale about a female goddess named Chang E who jumped onto the moon.

So she wouldn't travel alone, she brought a rabbit with her to keep her company. It is said that if your heart is pure enough, you can see the goddess Chang E and her rabbit on the moon on this day.

Symbols

Red envelopes
Called "hong bao" in Mandarin, the red envelopes filled with money are typically only given to children or unmarried adults with no job. If you're single and working and making money, you still have to give the younger ones the hong bao money.

The color red denotes good luck/fortune and happiness/abundance in the Chinese Culture and is often worn or used for decoration in other celebrations.

Dragon
The dragon is present in many Chinese cultural celebrations as the Chinese people often think of themselves as descendants of the mythical creature. On the fifth day of the New Year when many people have to start going back to work, they will also have dancing dragons perform in the front of the office building.

On the 15th day of the New Year (Yuan Xiao Jie), they may also have a lot of dancing dragon performances. The dragon represents prosperity, good luck and good fortune.

Traditional Foods

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is the most important dinner of the year. Typically, families gather at a designated relative's house for dinner, but these days, many families often celebrate New Year's Eve dinner at a restaurant. Many restaurants require reservations months in advance.

There are also some families that hire a professional chef to come cook at their house. Chefs are often busy running from one home to another cooking dinners for different families on New Year's Eve.

Chinese New Year is a 15-day celebration and each day, many families rotate celebrations between homes of their relatives. The festivities are day-long and sometimes, a family ends up cooking two meals for their relatives, once at lunch and once at dinner.

These dishes used to be all made from scratch, but now people can easily buy them prepackaged at the supermarkets.

Eight Treasures Rice, which contains rice, walnuts, different colored dry fruit, raisins, sweet red bean paste, jujube dates, and almonds

"Tang Yuan" - black sesame rice ball soup; or a won ton soup

Chicken, duck, fish and pork dishes

"Song Gao," literally translates to "loose cake," which is made of rice which has been coarsely ground and then formed into a small, sweet round cake

"Jiu Niang Tang" - sweet wine-rice soup which contains small rice balls
