Plenary Session
International Conference 2017

Is the Future Tense?

.
Futuristic technology is not just the provenance of Hollywood movies. In this plenary, we will examine how seemingly futuristic technologies such as robots, haptics, wearable technology, machine learning, and more are becoming a part of our daily lives. More importantly, we examine what this might mean for language teachers, both now and in the future. How are these technologies transforming teaching and learning, and what does this mean for the future of our profession?

Invited Second Session (Workshop)

Going Mobile

.
In this workshop, we look at a number of classroom activities using mobile devices and examine how these can cross the boundaries between school and the outside world. We review the choices and challenges involved in using mobile devices with learners in class, and how best to design and sequence mobile-based activities with your learners. Bring a mobile device (phone or tablet) with you to the workshop!
