How Computers can be used in the Language Class
1) Teaching with one computer in the class
- delivery of content (PowerPoint, word-processor, Webpages, etc.)
- classroom activities/discussions mediated by the computer
- Interactive whiteboard
2) Teaching in the computer network room (network-based language teaching)
- task-based group work /activities
- computer-mediated communication (CMC): asynchronous/synchronous
- tandem learning
3) Self-access learning (independent learning)
- drills and exercises
- word processing
- resource searching
4) Distance learning (i.e. individual learners working by themselves, at a place and time of their choice and, to some extent, at a pace and in an order also chosen by themselves.)
- delivering online course content
- CMC activities: email, discussion forum, chat rooms
- tandem learning
- community building
