iPad apps in Language Learning Classroom: How to Annote and Transfer Files
Pair presentation_ Lana Al Bardawil and Tsoghik Grigoryan
Abstract http://tesolarabia.net/ta/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/TACON2013ConferenceBook.pdf
iPad with its “micro-mobility” features can bridge the gap between the college curriculum and technology as long as it is used where appropriate. This session looks at how iPad apps Dropbox and Neu.Annotate are used to facilitate file sharing, course organizing and annotating in a paperless classroom.
My abstract for the research presentation: “iPads and EFL Classroom: Quest for innovation” http://internationaljournal.org/rome.html
The belief in the equivalence of human thinking and learning vs. technological functioning was closely linked to epistemological notions of ‘knowledge’ as a group of elements that, alike ‘if-then’ rules, could be mechanically processed through signs, symbols and production mechanisms. It can be foreseen that upcoming modern theories of learning will similarly tend to meet the challenges and demands of the knowledge society and look at learning as a coding and retrieving practice about conceptual notions and artifacts.This research presentation aims at exploring the results of using technology educationally by looking into learner practices and perceptions about using iPads in language learning, as well as looking into students’ language achievement the paperless classroom could bring.

E-Vocabulary Developing Strategies in Armenian EFL Classroom
Language learning in general and vocabulary acquisition strategies in particular are problem-solving tasks at different levels of complexity. In Armenian educational system vocabulary learning strategies are not paid special attention to. So this survey study suggests the ways, and how the present learning environment might become fertile soil into which the seed of developing useful vocabulary strategies might be planted.
