•There are two main ways to think about
technology for language learning/ teaching :
• As providing teaching resources
•For years technology may have only been
chalk and blackboard. Later audio and video
recording and playback equipment were
added.
• Now, we have www ( world wide web), a
way of accessing information over
internet.
•This means computer are online dictionaries
, grammar and style checkers for us.

IN ATECHNOLOGY AIDED CLASSROOM
• The role of teacher
• Is to plan activities that students accomplish via
technological means.
• The teacher monitors their work and guides the
students as they learn the language.
• The role of students
• Is to be actively involved in using the language
• Taking risk with the language by connecting with
others.
• Students help each others.

5. Providing enhanced
learning experiences
• Technology provides more resources which teachers can
use.
• It also provides learners with greater access to the target
language
• As a result , it has potential to change where and when
learning take place.
• It can even shape how we view nature of what is being
taught.
• Technology makes possible greater individualization,
social interaction and reflection on language.

6. Providing enhanced
learning experiences
• At the same time as technology enhances
language learning experiences,
• It also contributes to reshaping our understanding of the
nature of language.
• Language is not a fixed system.
• It is always changing and being changed by
those who used.
• Technology should be integrated into the curriculum and
not just added in because it is new.

7. Why use Multimedia?
multimedia activities encourage students
● to work in groups
● Express their knowledge in multiple ways
● Solve problem
● Revise their own work
● Construct knowledge
Advantage include:

-The value of teamwork
-Effective collaboration techniques

8. CALL ( COMPUTER- ASSISTED LANGUAGE
LEARNING)
● There is wide variety of CALL software and websites available for language
learners.
● Some of the CALL programs are open source , which means that they are
free and easily accessible, downloadable into computers.
WHAT CAN WE DO WITH” CALL” ?
● Collaboration projects

9. Benefit of Using Computers in the Language
Classroom
 Multimodal practice with feedback

 Variety in resources available & learning styles
used.
 Real –life-skill-building in computer use.

10. How effective is the
impact of technology
in language learning ?

11. ● Technology has become an important
role in the field of language
education.
● With the rapid development of
artificial intelligence and natural
language processing technologies,
several grammar checkers are
introduced as writing tools for
language learners.
● Language learners can receive
immediate corrective feedback from
these grammar checkers.
● Technologies have greatly increased
the opportunities for students to
receive input outside of the
classroom.
WE CAN SEE...

12. What are the
advantages of
using
technology in
language
learning
1. The best complementary tool for teachers
in the classroom
2. Books are taking a back seat and new
technology means that classes can be
much richer in content and more
participative than before.
3. Technology in language learning is
motivating and stimulating for students
4. It makes the students feel much more
motivated, using devices with which they
can practice a language through features
such as voice recognition and interactive
multimedia exercises etc.

13. What are the
advantages of
using
technology in
language
learning
5. Ease in managing and monitoring
student progress
6. managing courses, evaluating students with
tests and exams, and they can perform
important tasks such as monitoring the
progress of students
through specialized software.
7. Create a unique experience as much for the
teacher as the students
8. Learning is better with virtual whiteboards,
the students are a lot more involved, and
online exercises and interactive multimedia
content are motivating for them.

14. What are the disadvantages of using technology in
language learning
1. It can be distracting to students.
2. Students may find themselves trying to access other
components of the online experience instead of the
learning experience.
3. It can disconnect students from face-to-face relationships.
4. Interacting with people online is a very different experience
than interacting with them face-to-face.When people feel
like they can be anonymous, they begin to lose the filter
that they have over their words and conduct.

15. What are the disadvantages of using technology in
language learning
● It can make it easier to cheat.
● All it takes is a single group email broadcast to
share the answers to a quiz or test, especially if the
teacher is not monitoring student interactions on
the computer.
● It can create a dependence.
● Students using technology every day might feel
offended by the idea of picking up a real book to
read.They might even resist going outside for
recess or to participate in family activities.
