Innovation in Language Learning

The infusion of Technology into the curriculum and teaching pedagogy in recent years is beleived to be paramount of students' motivation, engagement and overall academic sucess. Despite many institutional efforts and initiatives to capture and encourage their faculty and curriculum designers to embrace the use of technology in their classroom, we observed some changes that need to be addressed to guarantee sucessful implementation.
Our hypothesis is that academic instituitions need a clearroadmap in which all participants are involved at every level to guarantee a hugher level of success and engagement. The aim of this paper is to capture and share the successes and challenges faced by the English foundation program at the Petroleum Institute during their transition towards a full technology adoption.  Qualitative focus group interviews will ve used with six of the faculty who actively participated at different capacities during this transition. In addition, the paper will offer a self-reflection component which targets practitioners who are facing similar similar to faciltate their journey.
