 * How to Use the iPhone and iPod Touch for Language Education**

The number of students who use an iPhone and/or iPod Touch is rapidly growing. What new possibilities would this open up in language education? With this growth, there is great potential for developing teaching methods that employ such technology as an instructional tool. This session will focus on the practical aspects of the research related to such technology. The presenter will share teaching methods that involve this technology along with various applications that can be downloaded via iTunes and that are useful for language teaching. In addition, he will show the audience how to create language materials using the downloaded applications so they can apply the methods into their teaching.
