Twitter Chat " French as a Second Language"

                    

I joined a Twitter chat called ‘French as a Second language’ an hour ago, it happens every Sunday at 9-10pm EST and today’s topic is about oral communication. This topic happened to be my interest because I have problem of improve my oral communication skill and also had a hard time teaching speaking in my own classroom, so my target is to look for teaching skills and leaning skills.

                   

It was such a diversity of people who joined the chat, and it was definitely an eye-opening experience for me! The pattern was basically like the moderator asked questions, other people answered questions, but the amazing part is the way people answering questions and how they interacting with the others twitters. People asked help for teaching/learning strategies, liked each other’s tweets/answers, @someone to talk about specific ideas, attached pictures to show the teaching experiences they had in classrooms, posted related articles, etc., before joining this chat I never got to know there is so much information get exchanged in such a small space! I like these ideas all! But what attracts me the most, is how the moderator and those experienced people tried to provide suggestions and recommendation for all kinds of problems that were mentioned, it’s such a great way for new twitters to get to know them and have this opportunity to follow them in the future.

However, I think the only part that could be improved is the tweet box, since people really can’t express much about their opinions with the limitation of words, and a couple sentences are really not enough for other people to get to know the whole idea.
