The Department of English Language Education (ELE) of the Faculty of Humanities at The Education University of Hong Kong, held the 1st ELE e-Learning Roundtable on 9 June 2018. The event was organised to share the experiences from local English teachers involved in the Unleashing e-Resources in English Language Education (URiELL) of the University’s Central Reserve Fund project. The project’s aim is to promote the integration of e-Learning in English language teaching in primary and secondary schools through an organic approach to professional development. The roundtable included a keynote presentation, experience sharing, roundtable discussion and parallel sessions. The discussion explored the topic of what can be done to prepare teachers for integrating technology into their classrooms.
Parallel sessions were conducted by participating schools, members of ELE and teachers in Hong Kong. Topics ranged from: Tips to setting up a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programme in a school to Getting Creative with Coding and Media in the English Classroom.
Over 100 participants attended the Saturday event, and due to the positive feedback received, a second roundtable is scheduled for 8 June 2019.
