How to Transform Your Classroom with AR and VR
Are you looking for ways to keep your students motivated and engaged during English lessons? Using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) is one surefire way to do so. These cutting-edge technologies are more than just gimmicks; you can use them to transform your classroom. With AR, you can bring learning to life, and with VR, you can bring the world to your classroom or take your classroom out into the world. This workshop explores how to use AR and VR to change your classroom into a whole new dimension. To fully participate in this hands-on workshop, please BYOD.
Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of an English Blended Course
This presentation outlines the iterative stages involved in designing, implementing, and evaluating a blended course of English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP) at a university in Japan, delivered in the spring semester of 2017 over a period of fifteen weeks. First, the basic Successive Approximation Model (SAM) will be introduced as the guiding instructional design model upon which the course was created. Afterward, the stages of the blended course design will be explicated with a focus upon assessing Japanese students’ English language needs and their e-learning readiness, determining the course overall goals and module learning objectives, optimizing course technologies and the availability of technical support, designing the course syllabus, materials, tasks, and activities, organizing team teaching, as well as managing formative and summative evaluation. Additionally, the way in which the iteration process has allowed for the discovery of some possibilities and problems at the early phases of the blended course design, and the refinements which were made to benefit from the affordable opportunities and to mitigate the difficulties will be discussed. Finally, the Quality Matters Higher Education Rubric and its effectiveness in raising course quality assurance will be reviewed.
“Write 4 Change”: Cultivating Autonomous, Global EFL Learners through Blogging
The process approach to L2 writing has gained momentum over the past two decades, as this approach encourages autonomy, reflection, collaboration, creativity, and exploration, and enables learners to become more engaged in the writing process. Technology has also grown in popularity in ELT, and blogging for L2 writing has been recommended to promote critical reflection and collaborative interaction within socially mediated online learning platforms. The purpose of this poster presentation is to explore how the application of a collective class blog, titled “Write 4 Change” http://write4change.edublogs.org/, facilitated the L2 writing process, promoted co-construction of L2 knowledge through social interaction, and cultivated autonomy, critical thinking, and global awareness in EFL learners via writing for social change. The tech tools which were incorporated within the blog will also be introduced and demoed. For example, Popplet, a mind-mapping tool used for the planning phase, will be introduced. The use of Google Docs and Draftback for online collaborative writing and e-peer feedback, will be discussed as well.

In the world that we live in now, exclusion is becoming legally permissible, and technology has the power to resist by making bridges and surpassing the offline borders in the online, borderless environment. In this presentation, I will share my visa story and the details of my UK visa denials which eventually banned me from attending EUROCALL2017. Despite being denied, the EUROCALL team helped me overcome the political barriers and be part of EUROCALL2017 with the help of technology. I will discuss how I was provided with opportunities for remote participation especially through Virtually Connecting, which is an open connected learning community that aims to facilitate virtual participation in academic conferences for those who cannot be physically present at conferences. I will also talk about other Open Educational Practices occurred at EUROCALL2017, for example, tweeting and live broadcasting. I will further explain the differences I found between attending a conference onsite and online. Moreover, I will introduce the EUROCALL "Access and Inclusion" working group and the efforts that the committee is making to create more inclusive, diverse, and open educational opportunities. Finally, I would like to speak briefly about my PhD research project, titled Osaka University Global English Online (OUGEO), which I planned to present on at EUROCALL2017.
Debunking Stereotypes about Middle Eastern Women in the EFL Classroom
The presenters are both teaching English in the Japanese university context: one is Canadian, and the other is Iranian. In this presentation, we first share our personal narratives focusing on Iran, the first presenter’s homeland, and Pakistan, which the second presenter visited. We then talk about our collaboration in our English classrooms to dispel stereotypes about Middle Eastern women. We introduce our projects (e.g., “I Am More Than A Stereotype: Meet An Iranian Woman”, “Exploring Stereotypes”, and “Write4Change”) aimed at helping our learners reflect upon these existing stereotypes, and the impact of these misconceptions on attitudes towards the identity of these women. We also discuss how technology helps us fulfill our goals of challenging stereotypes.

English language education no longer focuses merely on building and improving language skills, but also aims to develop independent-thinking learners and socially-responsible global citizens. Teachers play a vital role in helping achieve this. In this poster presentation, we report on our two projects, titled “How Can I Change the World? Bookmarks for Puerto Rico” and “A Virtual Trip to the Unseen Iran”, that we designed to encourage critical thinking, cultivate empathy, dispel stereotypes about the Middle East with the focus on Iran, and develop global awareness in our students. First, we introduce the projects and share the story behind them. Next, we explain what augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are and how they can be used to enhance student learning, increase motivation and engagement, and improve the classroom environment. We also discuss how these cutting-edge technologies, also known as “empathy machines”, can be integrated into classroom activities to build global awareness and responsible world citizenship. Finally, we demo how we used augmented and virtual realities in our projects to create active, engaging, three-dimensional learning environments in which students come out of their seats and traveled to Puerto Rico and Iran.
Connecting to Puerto Rico through Augmented and Virtual Realities
After a massive hurricane hit Puerto Rico in September 2017, Antonio Vantaggiato, a professor at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in San Juan, started a campaign on social media for his students, asking people to send postcards of encouragement. In response, we designed a corresponding project for our university classes in Japan, titled “How Can I Change the World: Bookmarks for Puerto Rico”. We chose bookmarks as an “educational” item on which our students could write encouraging messages in English, and which could then become a keepsake for the Puerto Rican students. Through the use of virtual reality (VR), our students were able to “travel” to Puerto Rico to experience the devastating results of the hurricane. They were also able to explore the campus of the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón through 3D images. We also utilized augmented reality (AR) to bring our #care4sagrado message to life. Our learning objectives in this project were to teach our EFL Japanese learners to empathize and to become caring global citizens. In this presentation, we demo our AR-generated message and introduce the AR app we used to create it.

I Am More Than A Stereotype: Actions and Stories for Diversity Awareness and ...
The SIETAR Japan Special Interest Group Living Within Diversity (LiDi) was created in recognition that diversity exists within every cultural group, and that it is necessary to understand this diversity to prevent stereotypes and profiling, as well as to promote respect and inclusion. In today’s world of turmoil and increasing efforts to exclude those who are different and labeled dangerous or inferior, it is imperative that educators, researchers, trainers, and organizations increase efforts to act as agents of change and build environments of tolerance and acceptance; environments in which everyone can feel respected and safe.
LiDi was formed to provide opportunities for SIETAR members to exchange dialogues for facilitating awareness and empathy with Others in Japan and outside its borders. In keeping with this year’s conference theme of “Promoting Equity and Social Change: Acknowledge the Diversity Within”, Living in Diversity (LiDi) Special Interest Group members will share their personal experiences of diversity and social change as well as share ideas for promoting diversity awareness, equity and social change in classroom and training settings. Presenters will share their experiences with participants in a roundtable style workshop, allowing for more personal and deeper discussions. Participants will have opportunities to take active roles in listening and joining various discussions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
