The
Language and Technology Department was set
up for the express purpose of exploring ways
of enhancing language teaching and learning
through the exploitation of salient technologies
available in ICT world. We have identified
the following areas of work which will contribute
to our mission:
training teachers in the
use of selected and relevant courseware
in the ELT classroom
evaluation and adaptation
of available ELT courseware
production of teachers'
own ELT-related courseware
exploiting web-based resources
in the ELT classroom or for self-directed
language improvement
development of a training
web portal to provide further support
for ELT teachers; and
using ICT hardware to
improve delivery in the ELT classroom
ELTC has a fully equipped multi-media suite
and a complementing ICT factory that serves
as an incubator of ELT-related ideas and products.
We plan to run ICT-based ELT short courses,
road shows and workshops for teachers to promote
the use of ICT technologies in the language
classroom.
