Integrating Technology in Teaching and Learning a Foreign Language
Technology is an essential element in teaching and learning a foreign language. As an educator one can not avoid using technology in the classroom. Technology is used to enhance and reinforce teaching and learning. My research topic is going to be about integrating technology in teaching and learning a foreign language.
In my research, I would like to examine the effectiveness of some technology tools in education such as Podcasting in teaching listening skills, PowerPoint for presentation, technology as a means of communication, and the use of Blogs for journal writing etc…
Below are some ideas I would like to explore in my research:
Technology accessibility for both teachers and learners
Technology literacy (What should teachers and learners know about technology?)
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in education?
What are the appropriate technology tools for teaching and learning a foreign language?
Professional development
Surveys and interviews about the popular technology tools used by teachers and learners
