Tools and Techniques That Shape Language Learning
Exploring the evolving intersection of technology, pedagogy and practice.
Rethinking what innovation means in English language teaching
The Technology and Innovation strand at FoELT 2025 goes beyond gadgets and apps. It’s about reimagining how we teach – through better tools, smarter design, and more inclusive, engaging pedagogical approaches.
From AI and adaptive learning to low-tech solutions that improve learner autonomy and inclusion, this strand is for educators open to change – and ready to explore what innovation looks like in their own context.
Challenge your assumptions, update your toolkit, and see what’s possible when pedagogy meets possibility.
