This document discusses the evolution of technology in language learning from assisted tools to enhanced pedagogical approaches. It covers different learning theories like andragogy, which recognizes that adults have their own motivations and contributions, and heutagogy where learning is self-determined. The document also discusses computer-assisted language learning and models for understanding technology-enhanced language learning, highlighting how technology both shapes and is shaped by language education. It advocates building digital skills in languages and creating international virtual learning environments.

1. Technology in Language
Learning
From “assisted” to “enhanced”

3. From pedagogy to andragogy to heutagogy.
Andragogy: Knowles
Accepts that adults have
own motivations for
learning and own
contributions to bring.
Learning results from
experience and
interaction with others.
Importance of self
confidence and self
actualisation.
Heutagogy: Hase and
Kenyon.
Learning is self-
determined
Importance of knowledge
sharing rather than
knowledge hoarding.
Acquisition of
competencies and
capabilities.

4. Computer-Assisted Language Learning
Established the importance of teacher attitude to use of technology on
adoption (Levy, 1997)
Investigates theory and practice, provides a community for discussion and
development. (ReCall Journal)

5. A personal journey through language teaching

6. “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us”

8. The SAMR model Ruben R. Puentedura.

9. Models for understanding TELL: one example

10. Building digital
capability in
languages.
"In a statistical sense, we
may one day
communicate with each
other far more via
computer mediation than
in direct interaction."
