VietTESOL International Convention 2022
Nha Trang University, September 16-18
The Covid-19 pandemic has taught us that online engagement and collaborative efforts in digital spaces are a critical component of contemporary education. Educators are often denied the training they need to help their students gain the critical skills in becoming responsible and community-minded citizens in a digitally informed world; traditional education has historically been slow to integrate technology as a vital component of the learning process. Because language education has seen a great shift in the role and importance of technology to meet language learning goals and soft skill development, educators need to train and develop competencies in these critical areas.
This presentation will highlight how technology and teamwork should be more present in the classroom to help meet teaching and learning goals. Fusing a collaborative approach in integrating technology and course development while giving team members agency in the project process transfers to language learning classroom scenarios. The presenters will draw on their experience in creating an educational technology teacher-training course for English language educators through a cross-national collaboration.
