USING TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE TEACHING-LEARNING EXPERIENCE DURING THE ENGLISH CLASS

Summary/Abstract: It has always been a challenge to teach English – or any foreign language, for that matter – to Engineering or Business students. One of the major reasons which makes this task particularly challenging is the fact that, being graduates of various high schools, they join the university having very different levels of English. Some may have started English in kindergarten, while others only in high school. Some speak it fluently; others may barely be able to introduce themselves despite having studied it for a similar number of years as the former. This paper takes a look at how the technology-savvy students (and here we refer to the modern communication technologies) can become more involved in the teaching-learning process and how the quality of this experience can be improved by employing smart devices and similar technology as educational tools during the English class.
