The next generation of autonomous instruction thru VoiceThreads<br />
Marsha<br />
Appling-Nunez (Qatar University - Foundation<br />
English<br />
Program) & Melissa Van De Wege (Qatar University)<br />
Learn to use VoiceThreads (VT) to facilitate students’ participation and<br />
encourage learner autonomy in university classrooms. We will highlight<br />
uses for intermediate to high-level students and guide participants<br />
through building a VT. Participants will receive a handout defining<br />
VoiceThreads and suggested uses in the classroom. Remaining time will<br />
allow for Q&A. Participants can bring their own device, though not<br />
necessary.<br />
Questions for learning and some unexpected answers<br />
Andrew Walkley (Lexical Lab)<br />
At IATEFL 2014, Sugatra Mitra suggested good questions unlock learning.<br />
In ELT, what are those questions? Who asks them? When? What answers<br />
are needed? Where from? What questions are in coursebooks, including<br />
Outcomes, and what might they reveal about principles behind them? What<br />
questions might teachers ask themselves to develop? Why don't you come<br />
to this practical thought-provoking workshop?<br />

Only connect: seven strategies for ensuring teacher-student<br />
communication<br />
Ken Wilson (Freelance<br />
Freelance)<br />
Some experts say that educational technology has blown away the notion of<br />
the classroom altogether. However, for the foreseeable future, learning<br />
will take place in classrooms with teachers, students and desks and<br />
teacher-student communication will be more important than ever. This<br />
workshop will show how the vital link between teacher and students can be<br />
maintained, even in a hi-tech classroom.<br />
