View more presentations from Jason West. This was fun. I really got into a riff about finite and infinite space with regards planning and creating English language teaching and learning materials for the future. I wasn't sure what people made of it then, those present looked a bit bemused. But it seems to have become more relevant with the arrival of Augmented Reality etc. and the fact that the world of ELT is moving so slowly into the 21st century. We have all of these amazing technological tools but no one has created teaching and learning content that makes them more than blunt instruments of fascination bulging with user-generated content. That's fine and is working (of a fashion), but how do you use them much more efficiently, i.e. strap on a pedagogic turbo-charger for the brain? Let me know what you think? |
