    Active learning is increasingly of interest within Higher Education. The use of technology provides, in theory, the opportunity for more effective active learning, but in practice the majority of learning technology usage is still for “traditional” approaches. Conventional staff training is failing to address this. The authors’ university has provided an experimental technology-rich teaching space (the Teaching Grid) for supporting teachers as they experiment with the delivery of innovative, technology-based teaching. This study investigates teachers’ experiences of trialling active learning approaches within the Teaching Grid using four case studies. The results suggest that the Teaching Grid can be effectively used to support teacher professional development, and the experience of using the facility encourages teachers to integrate technology into their future teaching plans. Five factors are identified which contribute to the promotion of active learning. Teachers’ perceptions of their experience indicate not only the intention to use technology more but also an increased awareness of its potential and openness to adopt more active, student-focused approaches. The broader significance of this work is to identify an alternative model for teacher development which, in contrast to most current approaches, has a demonstrable positive impact on fostering innovative, technology-based pedagogy.

    Technology is getting more sophisticated in today’s globalized world. Technology also provides educational technology tools, including in English teaching and learning. It aims to support and assist teachers and students to obtain a better English teaching and learning experience. This paper focuses on the implementation of educational technologies in English classrooms. The analysis of the included studies shows that: (1) true experiments, quasi-experiments, and causal-comparative research were the research methods used in the studies; (2) 8 types of educational technologies were found to be implemented in the studies; (3) a variety of relationship between educational technology tools and English skills were identified. This paper also shows that there had been little research regarding English skills (listening, reading, grammar, and pronunciation) in the context of educational technology. Finally, this study provides other significant information on limitations and implications followed by a conclusion.
