EuroCALL Teacher Education SIG Lemesos Workshop
PedagogiCALL Perspectives on Curriculum Development and Implementation
Cyprus University of Technology Language Centre
Workshop 28-29 May 2015
Teacher Outreach Event 30 May 2015
The EuroCALL Teacher Education SIG is organising a two-day workshop on pedagogical perspectives on CALL curriculum development and implementation in Cyprus in May 2015.
The Teacher Education SIG brings together CALL researchers, teacher educators and teachers interested in research into the use of technologies in the teaching and learning of second or foreign languages. We aim to investigate, describe, and explain CALL practices with the long-term objective of improving opportunities and outcomes in technology-mediated language learning.
The workshop focuses on the pedagogy behind CALL practices and explores perspectives for effective technology integration in language teaching and learning in diverse contexts. The emphasis is on the pedagogical dimensions of digital tools and applications, and the benefits, challenges and limitations of these for curriculum development and implementation.
The Teacher Education SIG workshop, open to researchers, practitioners, teacher educators, course and material developers, including doctoral students, will be held over two days, and focuses on research projects in CALL, second and foreign language teaching and learning, course design, CMC–based language teaching and learning.
On the third day, a Teacher Outreach Event is also planned specifically for local teachers. The sessions of this day will include concrete examples for classroom practice, guidelines for teachers and resources for further development. Local teacher attending only the third-day event are not expected to join EuroCALL.
keynote speakers:
Dr Regine Hampel
Dr Sophie Ioannou-Georgiou
