Session Titles

The Use of Gamification in the EFL Classroom to Reinforce Vocabulary

Online classes have become part of our new reality. It can be quite difficult to see the students’ results through a screen, but not necessarily impossible. Class participation, cooperative learning, role play activities are very likely to happen in the virtual class.

We just need to provide the appropriate motivation through different online games during class time to reinforce knowledge and increase students’ participation.

Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Helps Facilitate SLA

Technology not only helps facilitate Second Language Learning, but also has set today’s class scenarios into virtual class meetings and online actions performed over the internet. Second Language learning is enabled by technology in improving learning conditions. This workshop is a hand-on activity based on reading through the use of app- tools to re-adjust content into engaging scenarios.

Tech Tools to Teach English

To emphasize on teacher´s effectiveness and stand out technology as the key to teach a new language. Technology tools are designed to help teachers to increase their control of the class, build and enhance students’ confidence.

This workshop promises to be meaningful, informative, and practical to show how to bring concepts to practice when teaching a new language.

Gamification: Igniting the Enjoyment Towards the English Language Learning.

Bringing joy and engagement to online classes can become a challenging situation for the teaching staff. Integrating gamification into our educational context provides opportunities for teachers to overcome this difficulty.

This proposal aims to provide educators an opportunity for understanding and creating digital gamified tools they can apply in their online courses.

With our Feet on the Ground: Improving Communication in Class to Enhance Teaching Skills

The presentation will examine different items addressing a student's point of view, opinions and complaints throughout an English class.

Ideas will be analyzed and presented together with practical solutions to increase teacher's awareness of student's necessities while planning classes and choosing adequate resources.

Online Tool for Teaching and Learning: Pixton

In this session, attendees will look at “Pixton” a click and drag comic development site that can be used to enhance the learning process.

It provides the ability to create comics on the web and could be used for grammar, vocabulary and subjects such as History and Geography.

The Importance of Gamification in the Virtual Classroom

Successful gamification in the virtual classroom is not just about creating a game, it employs use of interactive elements into the learning experience.

During this session, we will find the positive effects of gamification, different ways to enhance our lessons, and level up your current teaching skills to make teaching more productive.

How to be a King and Queen of Online Teaching

Within distance education, teachers have found it necessary to learn new techniques in order not to be left behind and gamification is one of the best options to achieve our goal.

Gamification is the preferred training methodology because it increases the appeal of learning processes, innovation, fun, and productivity.

Creating a Fun and Challenging Environment

Technology has always been there to support those who want to achieve more. Although many have discovered and applied tools to improve their classes and assess students, some others have not.

We will see some of the available Apps on the Web to help teachers create a fun and challenging online environment.

Engaging and Motivating Students with Fun real-life projects to Develop Speaking and Listening.

Our goal as teachers is to make sure that the learning process is fun, attractive and meaningful for students.

The fun experiences that the students have through games, role play and sketches will make them love learning the language.

Gaming, Interactive and Competitive Activities in Online Classes.

Considering the last two compelling years to teach and learn digitally, gaming and competition can become effective in active teaching strategies for young learners.

Using games in a safe competitive environment can develop deeper learning of the content, students become motivated, and enjoy participation in a non- threatening environment.

Engaging Activities for Online Lessons

Attendees will experience warm-up and wrap-up activities such as anagrams, puzzles, word snakes and codes. Attendees will also learn how to assess learners' development using multiple choice questionnaires or polls during online lessons.

Finally, attendees will recreate activities with different topics using the different resources learned

Improving Effective Filter Cognitions When Taking an International Exam

It’s hard to underestimate the role and impact of standardized language tests in encouraging high school and vocational college students to learn English.

Since exams are an important part and requirement for college application, most students focus on taking the exams rather than learning the language . As a result, fear and anxiety may affect their performance.
