Activities
A Check your understanding of how technology can be used in
language teaching.
1 What is the difference between the use of technology to provide resources for
teaching and the use of technology to provide enhanced language learning
experiences? What are some examples of each?
2 How can technology be used to construct authentic social relationships, both
virtual and face-to-face?
B Apply what you understand about using technology for language
teaching.
1 If you cannot set up your classroom in the same manner as the one described in the
Experience, how could you combine face-to-face discussions with time students
spend on a computer elsewhere such as in an Internet café?
2 What is your position on the emergent nature of language in a technology-driven
classroom? Should all usages be accepted?
