Mobile pedagogy for English language teaching by Agnes Kukulska-Hulme
We propose a new Pedagogical Framework for Mobile English Language Teaching, designed to stimulate thinking around key aspects of mobile-enabled language activities for students. This workshop highlights the use of activities which exploit a dynamic language and technology environment while drawing on the distinctive capabilities of teachers and learners.

Strong texts for weak learners by Thomas Cobb
ESL learners are often bored by the simple texts they are able to read, but unable to read the texts that would interest them. Lextutor has two solutions: simplify complex texts down to the learner's level, or resource the learner up to the level of the text. Focus: hands-on, practical.

16:20 - 17:20 |
Activity design in CALL by Jeong-Bae Son
This workshop will explore the issue of how to design computer-assisted language learning (CALL) activities and discuss the design process and methods. Participants will have an opportunity to learn about the types of web activities and mobile activities and a hands-on practice in the creation and use of some online activities.
