WAYS TO IMPROVE TEACHING AND LEARNING BY USING MODERN TECHNOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: It is well known that today, anyone with an Internet connection has instant access to other languages. That is why teachers should take advantage of using the Internet and other modern technology tools while teaching foreign languages. The use of multimedia helps exposing students to these authentic speech exchanges, increases time on task and the effectiveness of the study time. Incorporating computers and technology into class discussions can make difficult courses much easier for students to grasp. Using technology as both a learning tool and a subject matter discipline provides teachers with a number of new ways to inspire children to learn. The present paper deals with different ways of using education technology to promote enhanced classroom learning, such as: using connected learning, sharing content online, having fun with Twitter, using video chats, creating a class blog, creating interactive maps. We will develop each of these in turn, focusing on advantages and disadvantages.
