Masako’s Post – Technology and Language Learning: Moving Towards Integration




Masako’s post on 27th Oct on Technology and Language Learning: Moving Towards Integration is interesting.

I agree with Masako that teachers should focus on the four skills in communication and it is important that we don’t overuse technology in out classrooms. This once again coming back to the idea of purpose first, tools next (stuffing technology into the curriculum, McKenzie 2004)

The article provides some examples of how technolgy can be integrated into a lesson – which is useful!!

It is really quite amazing when we think about how much technology as a form of communication has evolved and is rapidly changing.

As Masako says: Teachers should be aware of what is happening in the real world and use all kind of communication styles in the lesson”
