Description
The use of interactive digital technologies in English language teaching is transforming how students engage with content, develop autonomy, and experience personalized learning. This Technology Fair session presents a hands-on exploration of innovative tools that support classroom-based instruction, mobile learning, and self-access study, tailored to diverse learner needs.
Participants will interact with platforms that incorporate gamification, adaptive learning pathways, and real-time feedback. Featured applications include mobile tools for vocabulary development, pronunciation improvement, and grammar practice, alongside AI-powered systems that adjust content based on learner performance and progress.
Guided demonstrations will allow attendees to experience how these digital tools function in both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments. Presenters will share classroom-tested strategies for integrating technology to boost student motivation, differentiate instruction, and encourage self-directed learning habits.
The session invites participants to ask questions, test features, and reflect on the tools’ practical applications in various educational settings. Emphasis will be placed on usability, accessibility, and pedagogical effectiveness, ensuring that educators leave with actionable ideas and resources.
In summary, this session highlights the potential of digital platforms to revolutionize English language learning by making it more engaging, adaptive, and learner-centered. Educators will gain first-hand experience with tools that not only enhance teaching practices but also empower students to take ownership of their learning journey in and beyond the classroom.
Biography
I am a teacher of English language with a strong passion for integrating educational technology into the classroom. With over 15 years of experience working with high school students, I have designed and implemented a variety of tech-based activities that support vocabulary building, grammar acquisition, and writing fluency. I continuously seek innovative methods to make lessons more interactive and meaningful for diverse learners.
In recent years, I have focused on exploring mobile apps, AI tools, and self-access platforms that help foster learner autonomy and motivation. My work emphasizes practical application, especially in low-tech and mixed-ability contexts, where adaptable digital tools can have a strong impact. I believe that technology, when thoughtfully applied, can bridge gaps and create equitable learning opportunities.
I have conducted meetings for fellow teachers on using tools like ChatGPT, Google Docs voice typing, and interactive quiz platforms, with the aim of promoting inclusive, student-centered learning environments. My mission is to make English language learning more engaging and empowering through thoughtful technology use.
