planning the event

         
accuracy in planning 1. I usually make a preliminary assessment of the activity before starting to implement it          
2. I have a very clear idea on how to organize the online event with tandem class.          
3. I am experienced at organizing online events at school          
4. I know exactly why I need the online event          
5. My students are  given clear instructions on how to behave in an online event right at the beginning of the project          
6. I know my students know what an online event is, so I skip the induction phase. They get bored/ I don't want to waste time to more profitable hands-on online talk          
7. I think it is not necessary for students to get acquainted with one another  through email activities before engaging in an online event          
8. I think junior /senior students should be let free to discover social rules as they go along in the chat session.          
9. When I plan an online event, I email my colleague and set an appointment at a suitable time a couple of weeks in advance. Then we have the class talk to each other impromptu.          
10. I think it is bad  to limit online chatting time when students are engaged in conversation because  limitations break their creative expression.          
11. I think it is not necessary to set a fixed strict schedule of points to cover with time limits. Students hate to stick to a schedule, especially when they're online with someone else.          
12. I always keep a written record of what is being said online in order to analyse the exchanges later offline          
13. I always share the written record with the colleague teacher for further analysis          
14. when I realize my students are going off-topic I usually chip in to bring them back to the point.          
15. I think students are basically interested in showing off what they know best or what they are best at.  I think they like to impress their online peers          
classroom management

classroom management & attitudes

1 2 3 4 5
1. I let my students group up as they wish          
2. I tend to go over and help my slowest typing students with his/her answer  lest  their online peers may get impatient and logout          
3. I am often embarrassed when I realize my students are not language proficient online (paura di fare "brutta figura" online)          
4.I tend to suggest answers and give input ideas to students who are blocked on the screen          
5. I like it when fast-typing students help slower ones          
6. I encourage students to prepare their questions to their online peers in advance, in order to copy and paste them on their client window to save time          
7. I prefer assigning specific roles to my students myself: the typer, the note-taker, the time-keeper while engaged in online talking.          
8. I get very nervous when my students make spelling or syntax mistakes online          
9 I like it when my students keep calling me over to help them when they're online          
10 I always have some chaos when there's an online activity going on
