Description
This workshop provides demonstrations and hands-on practice with technology tools for language teaching. We discuss choosing the right tool for each task, integrating curriculum requirements with technology use, and provide strategies for using technology to supplement the language learning experience. Two University of Arizona projects will be emphasized (COHChat and OLÉ). The workshop concentrates mostly on systems freely available over the internet. Sometimes referred to as Web 2.0 tools, there are many free online applications instructors can use. In these times of tight budgets it becomes even more valuable that we can use free web-based tools to enhance the language learning experience.
Co-sponsored with CERCLL and COH
Presenters: Garry Forger, Wayne Brent, and Justin LeBreck (University of Arizona)
