This document discusses integrating web-based new literacies into TESOL and EFL teacher education programs in Egypt. It defines web-based new literacies as the skills, strategies, and competencies EFL teachers need to effectively use the web for language learning. The document presents research on how literacy has changed in the digital age and lists specific new literacies needed by Egyptian EFL teachers, such as online communication, information management, and using web resources. It also describes using wikis, blogs, and email groups to deliver blended learning combining online and face-to-face modes.

Technology in ESOL Classrooms & Preparing Teachers for Successful IntegrationSandra Annette Rogers
The panel explores successful integration of technology in ELL elementary classrooms, considering the why (research findings) and how (practical examples and demonstration of technology). It also discusses training: 1) how teachers can be successfully prepared in teacher education programs, and 2) two online TESOL professional development opportunities in technology. Participants are given the time and opportunity to ask questions and share.
This project aims to help students to improve their writing skill through the use of the internet. EFL teachers will be able to use this project guidelines in order to get the best they can from their students.
ENHANCING ENGLISH WRITING SKILLS THROUGH INTERNET-PLUS TOOLS IN THE PERSPECTI...ijfcstjournal
This investigation delves into incorporating a hybridized memetic strategy within the framework of English
composition pedagogy, leveraging Internet Plus resources. The study aims to provide an in-depth analysis
of how this method influences students’ writing competence, their perceptions of writing, and their
enthusiasm for English acquisition. Employing an explanatory research design that combines qualitative
and quantitative methods, the study collects data through surveys, interviews, and observations of students’
writing performance before and after the intervention. Findings demonstrate a beneficial impact of
integrating the memetic approach alongside Internet Plus tools on the writing aptitude of English as a
Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Students reported increased engagement with writing, attributing it to
the use of Internet plus tools. They also expressed that the memetic approach facilitated a deeper
understanding of cultural and social contexts in writing. Furthermore, the findings highlight a significant
improvement in students’ writing skills following the intervention. This study provides significant insights
into the practical implementation of the memetic approach within English writing education, highlighting
the beneficial contribution of Internet Plus tools in enriching students' learning journeys.

OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR ONLINE LANGUAGE TEACHER TRAINING: CONCEPTUAL F...IJITE
This paper discusses a conceptual framework for the design of Open Educational Resources (OERs) for
online language teacher training including an example of practical implementation. The authors identify in
the principles of micro- and macro- learning, cognitive load theory and Threshold Concepts (TCs), the key
elements that lead to the creation of effective OERs designed for the Lilac Project which aims to support
language teachers in managing online learning environments. Data from questionnaires and focus groups
were utilised to establish a set of TCs connected to online language teaching. These were then crossreferenced with existing TCs, and utilised to create micro learning content that does not negatively impact
the cognitive load, but, at the same time, is positioned within a larger macro structure that allows for the
development of deeper knowledge and competences. The structure of Lilac OERs will be presented as a
practical example of how the potential of technologies to support learning can be embedded in online
contexts.
REVISITING INNOVATIONS IN ELT THROUGH ONLINE CLASSES: AN EVALUATION OF THE AP...Mohammad Mosiur Rahman
The ubiquity with regard to technology and availability of social media offered an unorthodox avenue to impart education. Concerning language teaching and learning, the meticulous use of such online platforms has been overtly observed. They become didactic concerning the issue that typical classrooms often exert gaps in terms of students’ learning. 10 Minute School, a platform to infuse language teaching and learning through Facebook live classes, undertakes the responsibility to bridge the gaps yielded from traditional English language classroom in an EFL context. The aim of the current study was to carry out a subtle analysis concerning the design of this online learning program in relation to Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and its implication to e-learning. The study adopted the deductive method of content analysis. The themes have been shaped based on the teaching contents of 10 Minute School. The findings suggested that the approach undertaken by 10 Minute School for its online teaching and learning was instrumental to students’ quick learning.

Abstract: It is vital to comprehend blended learning, also referred to as hybrid learning, because it is a format now
applied more frequently than ever in virtual classrooms, whether teachers are working as freelance online teachers
or teaching English online with established tutoring companies. The technological developments have allowed for
blended learning and teaching processes in education institutions among learners successfully. Teaching the
English language needs the right processes that would enable learners to effectively capture specific concepts and
ideas in English. This work explores the importance of hybrid teaching methods among English learners by
analyzing blended and hybrid learning and teaching processes. Hybrid coaching approaches are seen as blended
teaching that combines online experiences and one-on-one interaction during the education processes. Over the
years, various foreign language programs have been designed via online classrooms due to the dependence of
online support and educator preparation through substantial studies. Thus, hybrid learning approaches need
proper research and planning to be useful and effective for learners, particularly in learning English. They entail
the development processes of connected communication skills via the support and preparations of educators based
on literature studies. The teaching of the English language among learners is based on language program
directors, literature studies, and professional development in particular contexts as provided. The study examines
the processes and significance of hybrid teaching and learning approaches that allow professional development in
teaching and learning English language among learners. The objective of this work is to motivate foreign language
educators at schools to implement hybrid learning and teaching approaches in their classes to improve student
involvement with English as a foreign language and offer more prospects to practice English outside the
classrooms. I started by describing blended or hybrid learning and some of its strengths, differentiating this mixed
approach from the flipped classrooms.
Keywords: blended learning, virtual classrooms, blended teaching, hybrid learning, learning English.
