After 15 months of piloting Chatloop, it's time to incorporate lessons learned into a new training program for Chatloop #volunteers... which requires quite a lot of camera time. Thanks @UQ_ilab for letting us use your camera!

1 Chatfor10 = 10 batches of text messages about a single topic between a volunteer and an English learner from refugee background, over a period of 5 days or so. To complete 100 Chatfor10s is phenomenal.

Starting Apr 2019, TAFE QLD, Chatloop, and a UQ researcher ​ will conduct a pilot research project*.

We're going to integrate Chatloop into some #AMEP classrooms and measure its impact on migrant English learners.

[Chatloop @chatloop1]

On Chatloop today, an English learner from a refugee background completed their 50th Chatfor10! They're the second Chatloop learner to reach is massive milestone.
