Key amongst the themes that came to the fore during the course of the symposium and that are captured in the papers collated in this channel is the observation that to be effective digital technologies must be used alongside effective pedagogies to enhance communication in a teaching context.
These frameworks share the same overarching themes of pedagogy, learner, context, content, time, social interactions, usability, device and culture, but none of them has a particular focus on assessment feedback.
To sum up, Hu (2002) argues that CLT and traditional Chinese education value different teaching and learning qualities and it is dangerous for policy-makers to assume that a successful pedagogy in one context will also be successful in another context.
The main purpose of the present paper is to critically review all approaches to foreign language syllabus design with reference to problems regarding the syllabi in EFL contexts and also discussing the problems in relation to language pedagogy in EFL context.
It brought forward various aspects that have been identified as crucial in mobile learning, including ownership, context, pedagogy, communication and dialogue, and exploration.
The study showed the viability, to a certain extent, of innovative technologically-enhanced interventions in reinforcing instructional pedagogy in classroom contexts.
As examples presented in previous page show, the "crossbreed" of the human brain and a machine is already possible, and this will essentially challenge teachers to find new dimensions, functions, and radically new pedagogies for a different context for learning and teaching.
New technologies when combined with participatory pedagogy may provide the context to sustain such a community with ongoing dialogue, reflection and the ability to co-create knowledge.
Finally, we draw on the need to expand TPACK by incorporating a fourth dimension, the Educational Context within Pedagogy, Content and Technology mutually interact, in order to address future policy models concerning teacher preparation to integrate ICT in education.
