School of Languages at XJTLU Conference 2024
Attending this event?
We find ourselves at a pivotal moment where the role of generative AI and other technological tools is reshaping the way we teach and learn languages. The question that lies before us is not whether these innovations will shape the future, but rather how we, as educators, will harness their potential to create meaningful and effective language instruction.
 
The title of our conference, No Fate: The Future is Not Set, underscores our belief that the future is not predetermined. We hope that our conference will serve both as a platform for collaboration and a catalyst for change as it is via the collective effort of educators, researchers, and innovators that the trajectory of language teaching and learning will be determined. By fostering collaboration, sharing insights, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible, we can shape the future of language education.

In the realm of education, the integration of digital tools has proven to be transformative, particularly in enhancing language acquisition among English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. This presentation delves into the innovative use of digital escape rooms to bolster ESL vocabulary acquisition within the domain of chemistry education. By immersing students in a themed scenario where they must solve puzzles and complete challenges related to chemistry concepts, digital escape rooms offer a hands-on approach to vocabulary acquisition. Through this gamified learning environment, ESL learners can actively engage with and internalize challenging chemistry terms in a context that is both stimulating and memorable.

This presentation will explore the design principles behind effective digital escape rooms for ESL vocabulary acquisition in chemistry education. By examining the impact of this innovative approach on student engagement, retention, and language proficiency, educators can glean valuable insights into optimizing language learning experiences for ESL learners in the realm of science education.
