Topic: Language Teaching and Technology

The most rapidly changing area of English language teaching today is in the application of technology to the language teaching and learning process. As new technologies emerge, language teachers explore how to apply them to the language classroom. Language teachers also re-examine existing technologies for new ways to apply them. The courses on this topic address both the use of new technologies and new applications of old technologies.

Stay tuned… we have more videos coming soon!

Language Use and Technology

The topic of a lot of debate today is how language use is changing as a result of the different technologies that have been developed, and are being developed, for communication. In this session, we’re going to take a look at how the use of mobile technologies and social media is changing how we actually use language. We’ll also explore how technology is impacting communication across language barriers. This is a topic that we don’t have a lot of answers in, so we will, instead, focus on some of the questions that have come out of this fascinating area of debate.

There is a common expression in circulation, ‘Death by PowerPoint’, and as the expression implies, PowerPoint often ‘kills’ the dynamics of the teaching and learning process. We’re going to take a look at some dos and don’ts when it comes to using PowerPoint in the language classroom so that you don’t subject your students to ‘Death by PowerPoint’.

Critically Evaluating Technology for Language Teaching Purposes

This video presents an effective process with which to critically assess a technology for language teaching purposes. The process includes assessing the ‘value-add’, constraints, and applications of the technology. We will then put this process into practice by evaluating a technology for use in the language classroom. By the end of this video, participants will be able to confidently and effectively evaluate new technologies for integration into their teaching repertoire.
