TECHNOLOGY & MEDIA: APPLICATIONS IN LANGUAGE CLASSROOMS (TEFL, TESL & TESOL)

Summary/Abstract: Today, our life is deeply immersed in web-based technologies. Digital media have dramatically affected almost every aspect of human life. The field of education has been slower to integrate new technologies than many other fields of endeavor, but that is now changing. The role of digital media in language and learning is especially important, given how new technologies are transforming reading, writing, and communication. For many language learners around the world, new digital environments represent not only a useful means for learning language, but also the main medium in which they will actual use their second language in everyday life. Teachers and educators use web-based technologies in their classrooms to enhance their teaching and students’ learning. Language-related field of studies such as TEFL, TESL and TESOL are connected to these technology-based platforms. We can assume many benefits to technology-based teaching and learning, but research shows that psychological aspects are much more dominant than others are.
