Ready to TELL

Ready-to-go Class Activities for Technology Enhanced Language Learning

Ready to TELL is an in-house e-magazine designed and developed by the School of Languages at XJTLU. It consists of collections of ready-to-go class activities for Technology Enhanced Language Learning. This e-magazine serves as a platform for language teachers to share their technology-based teaching and learning practices. It is also a virtual community for teachers to discuss the best ways to utilize technology to facilitate language learning for our tech-savvy students.

Ready to TELL is an in-house e-magazine designed and developed by the faculty in the School of Languages at XJTLU. Although it has been standard practice for language teachers to incorporate educational technologies into the classroom for some time now, the disruptions caused by the pandemic have necessitated that much of language teaching and learning is delivered in an online or hybrid mode. Digital technologies have now become even more vital to course delivery and skills development in language education, and the adoption and effective use of technologies has to be an integral part of any student-centred language course.

Language teachers at all educational levels and institutions around the world are welcome to contribute to Ready to TELL. These TELL activities can be as small as a 5-minute warmer or as big as a semester-long class project; they can be creative ways to use “old-fashioned” technology like PPT, or your pioneer exploration with state-of-the-art technology like VR/AR and AI. These activities will be presented in a way that teachers can just grab and use without too much tweaking.
