Aiming to equip future English language educators with knowledge and skills on the integration of technology in education, the English Guild organization conducted a seminar-workshop at the College of Teacher Education (CTE) Conference Room on January 31, 2025.
The event was spearheaded by Mr. Ramil Gofredo, English Guild Adviser, and was attended by Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) English 2 and 3 students.
English Guild President, Ms. Fatima Mae M. Monton commenced the event by delivering her welcome address.
The core essence of conducting such an event was then presented by Mr. Cerge Ruloma, BSEd-English 3A Representative.
“This event is not just about us. It’s about our students in the future. By honing our skills, we become more equipped and become more prepared in the classroom environment, catering to the needs of our diverse learners,” Mr. Ruloma said in his statement of purpose.
The highlight of the seminar-workshop was the session led by the guest speaker, Ms. Nicole Uy Ilano, CPA.
In line with the theme, “Transforming English Education in the Digital Era: Empowering Learners Through Technology to Foster Communication, Creativity, and Global Competence,” Ms. Ilano tackled four main agenda items which included the Importance of Interactive Learning, Top Apps for English Practice, Online Resources for Language Learners, and Fun and Engaging Language Games.
Ms. Ilano brought the students into an engaging discussion as she shared a list of beneficial technological tools that they can use not only to foster an enhanced learning experience and interactive classroom environment in the future but also to effectively equip their students with English language skills. These tools include Duolingo, Babbel, Tandem, BBC Learning English, Kahoot, and Quizlet.
Mr. Gofredo concluded the seminar, expressing his gratitude to the English Guild officers, guest speaker, and students who extended their time for the event.
