Teaching with Tech: Storytelling, Practical Projects and Engaging Assignments

Students thrive when they’re engaged in the learning process, and using technology can make lessons more compelling. Additionally, storytelling is a basic, natural function of human communication. Tech enables us to weave visual and audio elements into our narrative, greatly enhancing our storytelling's effectiveness. Technology is an indispensable part of ELT today, and educators can harness various resources to improve the quality and outcomes of their teaching, including: communicating and instructing more effectively; designing engaging and fun learning activities; organizing/managing the class; and encouraging students' independent thinking and self-expression. This practical, interactive workshop explores various tech resources, activities and ideas for improving language teaching and learning. Particular emphasis will be placed on using these tools to enhance students' creativity and critical thinking skills.
