  Technology mediated education - necessity or luxury?
  ELTA is honoured to announce that one of the keynote speakers will be Herbert Puchta.

  Technology has become an integral component of our life. It is hard to imagine a segment of our everyday life that is not linked with technology in one way or another. It goes without saying how quickly technology has found its way into education. There is barely a teacher who does not use it or who does not ask students to rely on it for their learning. What would education be like without technology? Is there any area of education in which technology should not be used? When do we and our students have enough of technology?
  If you have experimented in this field, if you have an answer to any questions related to technology, if you have managed to “humanise” technology in the classroom, or if you simply want to hear what others have to say regarding this issue, feel welcome to the 8th ELTA IATEFL Conference.
  
  Please note that the Call for Papers 2010 will be coming soon! Visiting our website regularly will keep you up-to-date with the latest information on submission requirements, as well as registration deadlines and the conference highlights.
  
  If you are interested in presenting at the Conference, please apply by 1st March 2010 by completing the Speaker Proposal Form.
  

  ELTA Conference is supported by the Ministry of Education and can be found in the ZUOV Catalogue for professional development 2009/2010.
