Abstract
Technology is a means of fostering language, and Dr. Robert Blake will outline key lessons learning from teaching languages during the pandemic and where the field of language teaching is headed now. His educational perspective is framed by a discussion of the six most important human learning attributes: we are symbol-makers, natural analyzers, social beings, tool-users, game-players, and, above all else, storytellers. A new language pedagogy must address these human qualities, taking advantage of the best practices offered by technology.
