JALTCALL2021 Conference: Remote Teaching & Beyond

As language teachers, we face many frustrations and complications in delivering our lessons. These frustrations have only multiplied in the post-pandemic world.

Technology can help, but often presents its own problems. Unintuitive or overly complex interfaces. Lack of functionality. Lack of features specifically designed for language teachers.

TeacherTools.Digital, on the other hand, has been designed by language teachers for language teachers. Each teacher gets their own account, with their own classes, student lists, and activities.

TeacherTools.Digital offers 8 innovative activity types that cover all four skills of speaking, writing, listening, and reading, and empowers teachers to deliver both new and existing content in a variety of contexts, including online, blended, hybrid and even face to face.

In this presentation, the designer and developer of TeacherTools will demonstrate and explain how the platform helps teachers to create engaging and effective language learning activities quickly and easily.

Join Paul Raine, a 15 year veteran in Japanese university classrooms, to find out how TeacherTools can both reduce teacher stress and improve student engagement in a variety of language teaching and learning contexts.

JALTCALL, the JALT (Japan Association for Language Teaching) SIG (special interest group) for Computer-Assisted Language Learning is a nonprofit organization focused on technology in language learning. The SIG was formed in the early 1990s by a small group of educators who saw the great potential for using computers in language education. Since then, a myriad of technologies has evolved, and the computer is no longer the only, or even the main, focus of the SIG. Our goal is to encourage and disseminate research into both the practical applications and the theoretical issues that are connected with new (and older) educational technologies. We hope you will read the JALTCALL Journal that comes out 3 times a year (see the archives on our website) and join us at our annual conference (held in June) or our Teaching’n’Technology workshops (held the day before the annual JALT International Conference in November).
