Abstract:

In recent years, countries worldwide have been taking broad steps to lead educational reforms in their educational systems to prepare their learners for employment by teaching them the required skills that would enable them to apply these skills in real-world scenarios. Consequently, to achieve this ultimate goal, educators shifted their attention towards adopting the flipped classroom approach as an active learning approach, which has earned much attention from educators and practitioners around the world as it has been claimed that the flipped classroom can consolidate the students’ deep learning and motivate and engage students with their learning when compared with other didactic learning approaches which are considered tedious and daunting for the learners. Due to that, this paper presents the theoretical and practical methods embedded in implementing the flipped classroom in English classes by providing an example of using the flipped classroom strategy to teach ESL creative writing innovatively.

 Paper Title:  Technology-Driven Education: Insights from Collegiate Esports Authors:  Rochell McWhorter, Julie Delello and Rob E. Carpenter, University of Texas at Tyler, USA Abstract: This case study investigated how collegiate eSports players navigate the physical, mental, social, and academic challenges associated with competitive gaming, with a focus on its implications for adult education. Through in-depth interviews, the study explored players' diverse gaming routines, perceptions of excessive gaming, and strategies for balancing competing demands. While eSports participation fosters cognitive skills, social bonding, and career opportunities, it also presents risks such as physical inactivity, poor dietary habits, stress, and exposure to toxic gaming behaviors. A key finding is that the eleven students independently developed strategies to address these challenges, emphasizing the importance of integrating comprehensive support systems—such as physical activity ini...

AN EXPLORATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGE (MFL) TEACHERS AND COMPUTER ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING (CALL)

 Louise Hanna, Dr. David Barr, Dr. Helen Hou and Shauna McGill School of Education, Ulster University, UK  ABSTRACT  A study was carried out with 33 teachers of Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) to obtain information on the interaction of classroom professionals with Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and digital technologies in Second Language (L2) education. MFL teachers were recruited through Facebook groups in the UK. Research subjects were asked to fill out a questionnaire with CALL-specific statements. Significantly, participants recognised a gap in practice versus the expectation of CALL in the MFL classroom. Overall, participants were shown to be interested adopted and daily users of CALL who appreciated its ease and importance for teaching and learning in L2 pedagogy.  KEYWORDS  Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), Modern Foreign Languages (MFL), teacher attitudes, digital technologies, Second Language (L2) pedagogy, Second Language Acquisit...

Sam M Dakka Department of Engineering & Math, Sheffield Hallam University, Howard Street, Sheffield S1 1WB,United Kingdom  ABSTRACT Learning and teaching experiment was designed to incorporate SRS-Student Response System to measure and assess student engagement in higher education for level 5 engineering students. The SRS system was based on getting an immediate student feedback to short quizzes lasting 10 to 15 minutes using Socrative software. The structure of the questions was a blend of true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions. The experiment was conducted through semester 2 of yearlong engineering module. The outcome of the experiment was analyzed quantitatively based on student performance and qualitatively through student questionnaire. The results indicate that using student paced assessments method using Socrative enhanced student’s performance. The results showed that 53% of the students improved their performance while 23% neither improved...
