Integrating Informational Technology into Language Learning
Moodle semester wrap-up training session and discussion. The session is hosted by Yegor Grishk, NULITS. Using ActivExpression2 clickers for instruction. The session is hosted by Zhomart Utemissov, Maxim Ivanchenko, and Olzhas Abdygaliyev, NULITS. Usually, in a project-based learning, the students are required to write a report to document their results, in addition to being followed up with a presentation of the work. Since programming projects often offer a significant amount of creative freedom, it became apparent that the use of multimedia would enhance the student experiences and proficiency of learning. Please join Dr. Alex James (SEng) as he shares his experience in using video recording of student projects. Talking book allows users to listen to text (poem, folktales, folklore) and get familiar with Kazakh culture (Kazakh songs, kuyi, etc.) Students can improve their Kazakh fluency and pronunciation. The session is hosted by Saule Mussabekova, SHSS. Come and see examples of how to use online resources (eTexts, dictionaries, websites, videos) and platforms (blogs, chats) to enhance the language learning experience. The session is hosted by Dr. Olivia Donaldson, SHSS.

Description of the Event and Session Facilitators The session is hosted by Dr. Aigerim Yessirkepova, SHSS. This project was the mid-semester assignment for Dr. Nikopoulos’s course on Literary Modernism. Students were created the inaugural issue of a magazine that commemorates the artistic and historical events of a single calendar year during the modernist period (approximately 1900-1950). The aim of this assignment was to force students to consider the context out of which the literature of this period emerged. The magazines are available in e-format. The session is hosted by Dr. James Nikopoulos, SHSS. Enhancing Sage as an open-source mathematical software for teaching and learning Calculus, hosted by Dr. Natanael Karjanto, SST. Come and discuss with Dr. Barbara Cole and Dr. Karim Yengsep (SST) how student video blogs can be used for instructional purposes.
