Augmented reality: practical ideas for its use in the classroom<br />
Stephen Pilton (Kings Education, Oxford)<br />
Today, augmented reality technology (superimposing computer-generated<br />
images/video onto a smartphone, tablet, etc.) is neither science fiction nor<br />
the preserve of IT specialists. Augmented reality apps are free, easy to use<br />
and offer students an exciting new way to develop their English skills,<br />
while simultaneously interacting with the environment around them. Find<br />
out how to use this technology in your classroom.<br />

An overview of ESP research in Brazil: developments and directions<br />
Rosinda Ramos (Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo, Brazil)<br />
This talk provides the results of a survey conducted on Brazilian ESP<br />
academic research. Studies produced in the Brazilian context were<br />
analysed. It provides empirical evidence to better understand this area and<br />
indicates areas that have not been investigated yet, in the hope of signaling<br />
new directions for ESP research in Brazil.<br />
