use of technology

Technology is not so "neutral" Mainly: Western Culture It's important, as teachers, to be knowledgeable about technology.

Principles

  • The language should be used in interaction - knowledge creation
  • Teacher: plans and monitors - As a guide
  • Student-generated language -> Language is emergent, dynamic, and continously evolving
  • +Writting and reading (it depends on the use in class)
  • Evaluation: Portfolio, performance in class
  • Error: language is creative and forgiving (fluency)
