Abstract
Educational researchers have paid considerable attention to the use of multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) to support learning across curricula. Among those MUVEs, Second Life (SL) is one of the most popular. This paper reports on a study of student teachers' experience of teaching English in an experimental EFL (English as a Foreign Language) program in Second Life (SL) with students in China. This study was a collaborative effort of facuity members and graduate students of both a state university in the USA and a provincial university in China. The study took a case study approach to reveal student teachers 'perceptions of their teaching in SL, what they have learned and discusses the implications/or teaching in similar EFL programs in SL.
