Using-Technology-in-Foreign-Language-Learning

                                                Role of Technology in Language Learning
It is rare to find a language class that does not use some form of technology. In recent years, technology has been used to both assist and enhance language learning. Teachers at K-16 levels have incorporated various forms of technology to support their teaching, engage students in the learning process, provide authentic examples of the target culture, and connect their classrooms in the U.S. to classrooms in other countries where the target language is spoken.

Further, some technology tools enable teachers to differentiate instruction and adapt classroom activities and homework assignments, thus enhancing the language learning experience. Distance learning programs can enable language educators to expand language-learning opportunities to all students, regardless of where they live, the human and material resources available to them, or their language background and needs. In sum, technology continues to grow in importance as a tool to assist teachers of foreign languages in facilitating and mediating language learning for their students.

While technology can play an important role in supporting and enhancing language learning, the effectiveness of any technological tool depends on the knowledge and expertise of the qualified language teacher who manages and facilitates the language learning environment. In some cases, however, school and university administrators have permitted technology to drive the language curriculum and have even used it to replace certified language teachers. Language technology companies have made unsubstantiated claims about their products' abilities to help students learn languages, thus confusing administrators into thinking that these technologies can be an effective cost-cutting measure. There is currently no definitive research to indicate that students will acquire a second language effectively through technology without interaction with and guidance from a qualified language teacher.

Languages ​​and TIC, a perfect combination

 Languages ​​and TIC, a perfect combination

Learning languages ​​can be much easier if we use the new technologies. We now have at our disposal a wealth of tools and applications that we can be helpful for learning.
                             


For example, to learn English we can use uSpeak, a free application that will help us learn while utilizing the game. Using different sets of words, the order of the letters, etc.. we can learn a lot about the language and also help us to improve the ability to think in English and improve our vocabulary.

On the other hand we have bussuu platform, a platform that helps improve a language from beginner levels to advanced levels. With this tool we can access over 3000 words and expressions, photographic material, activities, etc.. Furthermore, we can find lesson plans in many languages​​, exercises.


In addition, for intermediate levels can have a tool developed by The New York Times: Learn Inglés With The New York Times. With this tool you can hear the complete recording of a text, do different activities for their understanding, learn vocabulary, etc..

In other languages ​​can also find helpful tools such as French Verbs HD, an application for learning this language and that is mainly aimed at teaching verb conjugations. This tool helps improve correct pronunciation of verb forms with the use of animations, etc..

Educational technology
