I believe the issue about " the role of teacher" was evoked during the last forum session after Lyon webinar " Teacher training in the age of web 2.0 era:The current situation and future persepectives". As we can see from Laia and Tatiana, this issue is still a lot to be discussed. Upon my expereicne in terms of teacher competition, teacher who adapt and use actively web 2.0 tools into the classroom context consider themselves as a facilitator or a guide in order to promote an active participation from their pupils. Yet, I agree also with Laia about the current situation about lacking teacher trainging in terms of new technolgoy and a propoer pedagogy. But then, does only teacher's  and pupil's responsiblity to improve new ways of language learning? Any other elements to be considered?
