Vocabulary in Reading Studies - VIRS - a mobile app promoting kids' efficient lexical development  You’re a K-12 teacher. Your EL needs to learn academic vocabulary fast. We have an app for that. Based on corpora representing 10 million textbook words, we assembled VIRS, which promotes color-coding toward focus on vital vocabulary. Presenters demonstrate the app with respect to lesson planning, readability, and vocabulary size.   
  Ludette Agura, EF, China  Extending the classroom with WeChat  In an EFL context it’s often hard to encourage students to extend their language learning beyond the classroom. WeChat is a common messaging system available in China. This presentation will go over different activities that can be conducted using this app.  Extending the classroom with WeChat.pptx

Busuu: Bite-sized lessons that stick  Busuu is a lively app that allows students to work through bite-sized lessons that are high in quality. Presenters demonstrate that this is a great tool for emergent learners, students with mid-level fossilized skills, and those who struggle with independent studying. Busuu helps teachers launch richer lesson plans!   
  Julice Daijo, JD English Language Consulting, Brazil  Making Intonation Visual Through the Use of Recorders  This presentation is about making intonation of the English language more visual, tangible and fun through the use of free apps like: Voice Memos (iPhone), Clear Record, Recorder, TW Recorder, and Make Staff which help raise learners' awareness to the frequency of pitch variation on a graphic.

  Brooke Stephens, Storylabs Language, USA  Using Quizlet to Read and Build Fluency  Quizlet has a new line of stories that go beyond vocabulary lists. Students begin with an illustration which is read to them in the target language. The card can be flipped for translation. The students progress through different levels, ending at the last level where they tell the story independently.
