The use of ICT in EFL: finding the right blend<br />

Beyza Nur Yilmaz (Pilgrims Teacher Training / Ozyegin University)<br />

Blended learning is a common term in education. Learners can benefit<br />

from its use provided that educators find the right blend of educational<br />

technology in teaching. However, this is difficult considering vast<br />

information and availability of tools. In this talk, basic pillars of blended<br />

learning will be outlined and its use in tertiary level with EFL learners will<br />

be showcased.<br />

Jemma Prior (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Bolzano, Italy)<br />

What makes the online productive level of vocabulary tests difficult?<br />

Wei-Wei<br />

Shen (Feng Chia University)<br />

As little is known about EFL students’ problems of doing online productive<br />

vocabulary tests, based on a classroom study, I will first present a low pass<br />

rate of 60 intermediate range of university students. Then I will show the<br />

analysis of the reasons regarding their errors. Suggestions to improve the<br />

ways of passing the tests are finally given.<br />
