Classroom Discussion:
Topic: How do you think the technology might change teaching and learning
Positive:
Learning will be more autonomous
It can be free life-long learning achieve distance language teaching or on-line learning
offer more or less equal opportunities for education
Modernizing language learning (up-to date)
Much greater potential for a 'connected classroom' ie the learning doesn't stop at the classroom door enrich the learning style
Learning for multiple intelligences applies to learners' different styles
It can motivate the students by offering the update information.
easier access to other learner or teaching communities
We think it will be the basis and drive for changing pedagogical approaches and sprucing them up!
- Broadens the field of opportunities for language learning and its application
- Make the learning process more motivating
- No more boring lessons!!
- It enables students to communicate in English within the whole world.
- really learner-centered language teaching
- will enhance interdisciplinary studies
- Development of technology awareness and skills becomes available through language learning
- Ss are more exposed to authentic language environment.
- Technology helps language learners develop more efficient learning strategies.
- Learners can have access to any materials. Also, learners can listen to an English story while watching 3 dimentional play just in front of
Neutural:
- Learning might not take any in any one place
- May increase divide between haves and have nots
- No text books are needed There might not be traditional classrooms anymore as anyone would have access in the resources any time.
- handouts and coursebooks may no longer be used
- If technology reaches the level of AI, maybe we won't have to learn any foreign languages anymore. For example, we can talk in any language
Negative:
- distract the students
- students may rely on the technologies too much
- Less face-to-face communication
- There might be the danger of how to utilise all this knowledge.
- Danger of adapting lesson to technologies than the other way round.
- harmful to physical heath eg. eyes, muscle
- too much overloaded input will add pressure on students' mind which distract students' selection of the valuable information
- Multi-tasking might not be appropriate for variable learning styles. The beginning of another digital gap?
- overload psycho- cognitive processes- might be too much
- Less teamwork
