Technology Hub
Call for papers
The Technology Hub has been an environment in which TESOL participants have had the opportunity to know and interact with the devices, tools and successful technological solutions implemented in the world of English teaching and learning. This year we have a special edition of call for papers for the Technology Hub. The nine best proposals will have a place to present virtually to the TESOL Colombia audience their best tech device or solution to improve language learning. 20-minute live presentation (2 presenters max.)
DEADLINE: 6 March 2021
Proposal considerations
A presentation for the Technology Hub can either report a replicable experience of technology implementation in the ELT field or introduce a technological device or solution for English teaching purposes. The presentation is expected to include interactive moments in which the audience will be able to experience the technology addressed. Aspects such as: relevance (importance of the experience/device in the ELT field), innovation (friendliness, usefulness, and accessibility of the technology for the ELT), creativity (for the way the presentation will be held), and social impact (results and benefits for the ELT field) will be considered in your proposal.
