Terri Nelson, Assistant Professor of French, CSUSB
This session describes a late first-year/intermediate level language (French and Spanish) role-playing project in which students collaborate to solve a murder mystery using e-mail, a listserver, and a web site. It is designed to provide students studying language at a distance with an opportunity to work collaboratively in a linguistically and culturally rich context without ever having to meet face to face. The use of e-mail focuses attention on the subtleties of using writing as a communicative tool since students' ability to solve the murder mystery depends upon their being able to ask challenging questions to gain the information they need while avoiding giving answers hat inculpate themselves. The project makes extensive use of realia (train/bus/class schedules, city/country/world maps, official government documents and pamphlets, newspaper reports and editorials, fragments of letters, diaries, memos, and personal notes, concert and play programs, hort stories, advertising copy, department store catalogues, police and medical examiner reports, depositions, instructional manuals, etc. Most (all if a homepage is used) of the realia can be distributed electronically and, if a listserver is available, multiple discussion lists can be negotiated to allow for different groups to carry on private discussions. Handouts will provide guidelines for developing and adapting other murder mysteries. We will need the following equipment: A Video projector to which we can connect my PowerBook G3 (it has a VGA monitor port, no adaptor needed).
