Effective Language Learning? It's using technology! :)

We are as the new generation of educators has to master technology in language learning.  In this week, I felt so grateful to study TLL (Technology and Language Learning). Moreover, I realized that in this globalization era, educator candidates like us have to be very creative in teaching. One of the ways to do it is involving technology in language learning.

In language learning, there are 4 language focuses such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. All of those things can’t be separated.  In this meeting, I was so surprised and amazed that there are a lot of supporting websites and blogs which supports language learning and I explored especially for listening and speaking. Let’s flashback to my senior high school, I just listened to the monologue throughout 3 years, what a boring learning it was.  Furthermore, my teacher just asked us to speak some dialogues to assess speaking skills.

I found some interesting website that supports listening and speaking skill. I was thinking that it must be impossible to teach or asses speaking skill in websites or online, but it truly looks possible after finding those websites. Some of the reasons are because we have microphone (external or internal) and also websites that provides online learning. On the other hand, there is a lot of website that provides fabulous listening learning indeed! Moreover, some websites also provide other language learning! Super cool! I am sure that you waste your time if you do not try all of those websites to learn English and other languages.

I am going to create a blog which provides information or language learning process in group. My friends and I decided to use blogspot.com because it is easier for us to modify the content instead of wix or wordpress.com. Our theme is England or United Kingdom. Hopefully, we can do it well! You will as well :).
