"My doctoral thesis can now be found online. It is titled The Teacher as
Interface. Teachers of EFL in ICT-rich Environments: Beliefs, Practices,
Appropriation. The thesis addresses the field of didactics, or rather
the field where a school subject (EFL), information and communication
technologies (ICTs) and didactics converge. It aims to analyze how
teachers of English approach ICTs in their work, and how their practices
develop in technology-rich settings. In particular, the thesis focuses
on how learning and teaching develop at the interface of the co-located,
physical classroom and a distributed and networked learning environment.
This phenomenon is approached from a sociocultural perspective.
