In the table above I tried to summarize most relevant trends, challenges, and technologies for adoption relevant to Armenian EFL professionals.
Rethinking how schools work -this is the most important part of education as each Armenian citizen starts his/her path from a secondary school.
Students as creators - students must start thinking like creators.
Rethinking the roles of educators - educators must be more flexible and more tolerant toward the younger generations.
Keeping formal education relevant
Lack of Digital Media for formative Assessment
Ongoing professional development of teachers - public school teachers must be motivated to participate in ongoing professional development trainings.
Robotics - robotics can be integrated into the school curriculum just like chess is.
Games & gamification - schoolchildren will be more motivated to learn once they are exposed to games and gamification during class time.
Mobile learning - schoolchildren are using mobiles in their everyday routine, why not to make this part of the learning process.
Blended learning designs - higher educational institutions must be able to offer blended learning designs to the students.
Redesigning learning spaces- Higher educational Institutions must create learning labs for students.
Ubiquitous learning -learning must be available anywhere.
Sustaining Innovation through Leadership
Teaching complex thinking
Personalizing learning - projects and learning must be personalized to motivate students more.
Artificial intelligence -students can benefit from using AI technologies
Online learning -online learning must be free of charge.
Virtual & remote laboratories - virtual and remote laboratories will provide a great opportunity for students from remote areas.
