Article: Computers and language learning: an overview


Rate: 4



The article for this week talk about advancing of technology since 1960 has providing new methods that teachers have been using a traditional method to going to a modern method. Computers are an excellent option that gives students a number of language and tools for students to construct their own knowledge, it depends what kinds of use are given.

One way that teachers use today is the e-mail in which teachers can choose and assign tasks to learners from long range. However, the use of e-mail outside the classroom is complicated by the fact that much of the communication takes place outside of school hours and in uncontrolled conditions.

However, keep in mind that the computer is not seen as a means to replace teachers, but as a more flexible in the real life for to development skills of learners. For Teaching Practice Software Call means that students can learn and interact with others and integrate and integrate some skills as it is Writing and Reading in real time.


In conclusion, I learned that every teacher needs to know that the students (futures teachers) needs for their professional future the use of technological means, as they vary greatly in their ability to perception and learning, insomuch as the use of technology makes your learning more easy.

  2. Yes! Definitely Wendy! Techonology does not replace teachers. That's a crucial point to remember. However, it will depend on how we as teachers organize tasks that our students will see significant learning on them. In other words, it is up to us as teachers to show our students that technology can be an excellent ally. If we are not able to show this, then our students may end up feeling frustrated about using ICTs.
    Thanks for bringing this into discussion.

  3. I am agree in many aspect with you Wendy. The impact of technology on education has been very useful. However We have to keep into consideration that a new technology or method needs a people able to use it properly. Please, do not forget that human never ends to learn and the teachers too, and sometimes teachers need to take students role and learn to later put in practice the new knowledge with their students.
    However not always to have the best on technology is the most important at the moment to teach. I mean, according to Chris (1986) Jones argument from the document that we have read, he expressed that teachers creativity is most important, because they could teach in very good way using a basic software than teachers with advanced software that depend over teachers creativity.
