DAVID CRYSTAL
Preeminent linguist, English language scholar, writer, editor, lecturer, and broadcaster will join our special feature section Young Voices for students and pre-service teachers majoring in Pedagogy, Languages, Linguistics, Cultural and Communication Studies. The session will feature discussions on English from its story in 100 words to digital language, the latest online trends, surprising features of informal conversation and how different it would sound if you had a time-machine.
This section will be dedicated to technological solutions, challenges and insights for educational purposes. Our partners from both Russia and abroad will share best practices, their priceless experience, discoveries and news about their current projects, some of which will see light during the NATE conference for the first time. Keynote speakers of the section include representatives from Cambridge University Press, Skyeng, Far Eastern Federal University, Uchi.ru.
We will discuss educational platform research foundations, student motivation for online studies, evidence-based methods in education, find out whether technology is our enemy and maybe even see a language training simulator.
