This is an attempt to give a bird's-eye view of ways in which ELT has been reconciled with technology. It succinctly chronicles a series of common technological tools, applications, and approaches, starting from the excitement offered by CALL which predated MALL and its associated allies. It shows how ELT has shaped up under the auspices of modern…

Despite prolific access to technology within America's K-12 systems, more research regarding how investments in educational technology affect student outcomes is warranted. A growing body of research has looked at changes in student achievement due to educational technology access. However, often student access within these studies is not well…

Existing literature indicated that supporting the executive function skills (EFs) and learning strategies of students with disabilities (SWDs) during the learning process is important for improving the persistence and success of those students in post-secondary Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. This study…

Audiovisual and mobile technologies seem to be full of promises for teacher training and professional development. Within the INDIRE project "Making Innovation Visible" we have therefore designed an "online video showcase" drawing on the heritage of innovative educational practices and knowledge gathered by the Avanguardie…

Virtual reality applications for blind people in smartphones were used to make virtual visits in advance to unknown spaces; these need to include a set of cognitive and sensitive interfaces that allow users to use their other sensory capabilities to understand information about their environment and facilitate the interaction with the application,…

This paper discusses the possibilities for Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in the workplace. We present an on-going project on developing a language learning application Appla and report on a pilot study of its use. The Appla application is based on speech recognition: it records and transcribes the ongoing interaction the language…

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience higher rates of unemployment and underemployment than any other disability category. Employment may play an important role in the development of self-worth for people with ASD. Some people with ASD require workplace accommodations. Technology-based accommodations may be one solution for helping…

This paper describes an ongoing research study, which began in January 2017, about how to create an effective distance learning program in a hybrid mode that integrates WhatsApp Messenger as the learning platform for students who live in Ghana's remote areas where Internet connectivity and electrical power supply are limited. Qualitative approach…

Educators, parents and families, administrators, policymakers, and even students cannot look to individual tools to improve digital literacy practices. The common refrain "there's an app for that" simply doesn't cut it when we are talking about meaningful learning in today's digital age. In fact, efforts to invest heavily in single…

We discuss the real-time scoring logic for a self-administered oral reading assessment on mobile devices (Moby.Read) to measure the three components of children's oral reading fluency skills: words correct per minute, expression and comprehension. Critical techniques that make the assessment real-time on-device are discussed in detail. We propose…

Addiction recovery is a deeply personal journey of lifelong learning (LLL). Mobile technology is considered the choice technology for LLL, particularly in situations related to personal health and life transitions. This study addressed everyday experiences of using mobile devices for LLL to better understand non-technological factors that make…

This study aims to examine the opinions of classroom teachers about the remedial education of students who were out of education process during the covid-19 pandemics. The holistic single case pattern was adopted in the study. Personal information form and semi-structured interview form were used as the tools for data collection. The work group of…

While mathematics education is key to the post-school outcomes of students with disabilities, it has received less attention in research and practice compared with other aspects of educating this population. Skill maintenance is particularly crucial in mathematics because students build upon prior knowledge across grade levels. They also need to…

Caregivers of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder commonly experience stigma. However, how stigma influences social interactions of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder is unclear. We aimed to explore the impact of caregiver stigma on real-life social experiences of Taiwanese adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. In the context of…

The advance of educational technologies and digital devices have made computer-assisted language learning (CALL) an active interdisciplinary field with increasing research potential and topic diversity. Questions like "what topics and technologies attract the interest of the CALL community?," "how have these topics and technologies…
