So for instance, technology made it easier to do research, allowed for more interesting and colourful classroom presentations and made word processing easier. ]]> 2019-04-15 00:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351529508 Computers That Learn talentedtanya https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351532183 It is incredible to think that computers can learn and in so doing can transform the learning environment in which students find themselves. The overalll result is that students learn faster and in ways that better match their learning styles.]]> 2019-04-15 01:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351532183 References talentedtanya https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351645960 Andrade, M.

A. in Spolksy, B. & Hult, F. M., 2008).]]> 2019-04-15 13:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351651215 talentedtanya https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351845004 I discovered that there is an abundance of materials that facilitate language learning available via the Internet. 

The changes in language learning brought about by technology have profound implications for the knowledge required of a language teacher and therefore the content of a teacher education curriculum (Hubbard & Levy, 2006).

I developed a much greater appreciation for the extent to which learning through technology can capture students interest, increase interaction and increase comprehensibility (Dukes 2005).

These include dictionaries and encyclopedias, links for teachers, chat-rooms, pronunciation tutors, grammar and vocabulary quizzes, games and puzzles, literary extracts. The World Wide Web (WWW) is a virtual library of information that can be accessed by any user around the clock. If someone wants to read or listen to the news, for example, there are a number of sources offering the latest news either printed or recorded. The most important newspapers and magazines in the world are available online and the same is the case with radio and TV channels (Lee, K. 2000). ]]> 2019-04-16 01:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351850654 talentedtanya https://padlet.com/talentedtanya/87ubijb6emk2/wish/351853450 Spolsky, B. &  Hult, F.
