Since the emergence of Covid-19 in 2020, the use and necessity for education settings to adapt to an online format has led to the creation of many exciting and innovative teaching and learning tools. It has encouraged educators to make the online classroom more engaging by using innovative technology tools to benefit the learner. In this panel, we aim to showcase some English learning applications and websites that we feel have benefitted both communication channels and English language acquisition with students at the tertiary level such as Screencast-O-Matic and BAND. We will include a 5-minute window at the end of this panel to welcome the audience to share further online language learning tools or websites that others have found beneficial. We are looking forward to meeting you all and sharing ideas on how to improve the online classroom for both students and educators. MYSTERY EASTER EGG

In this panel, a group of instructors will discuss their ongoing experiences of delivering a presentation course to Korean undergraduate freshmen at the University of Ulsan. The course in question essentially covers 'Presentation Basics' and aims to equip students with universally applicable skills for making direct, effective and watchable presentations. During the session, we'll look at the positives we've encountered and the things that have gone well, along with sharing any areas we have struggled with or tips we have come up with for delivering a more effective course. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and ideas sharing, so come along with your own experiences (both positive and not so positive!) of teaching presentations, and add to the discussion on how best to teach this critical 21st century skill!

A fundamental goal of education for a sustainable future should be peacebuilding. This involves creating peaceful and just societies, at the heart of which are relationships shaped through our communication. Because English language teaching and research is about learning to communicate in a new language, there are endless ways to embed peace as process, outcome and experience for learners and teachers. In this 45-minute panel, three long-time and active KOTESOL members working in different contexts in South Korea will define key concepts then share observations from their research and practice in the areas of peace linguistics, peace education, nonviolent communication, and peace language education as a springboard for further discussion. It is hoped that participants will leave this dialogic session more aware and excited about fostering peace in their own environments. EASTER EGG 6
