Welcome to GraceJYK's place





Graham Stanley recommended language teachers to use a new technology, of Web 2.0 in their English language teaching for the 21st language learners in virtual world. He showed four tools such as Blog, Wiki, Podcast, and video.

I agree with him in using those tools for the 21st English learners in that they could have great opportunities to engage in and integrate in real English environment.

With Blog, teachers and students can open their classroom in the world keeping track of what’s happening in the world, linking Internet resources to share interesting information and news, and posting their homework, etc. With Wiki, students can do their class project with functions Wiki provides changing and revising contents easily by themselves. With Podcast, students can learn real English in the world using voice. By downloading contents from audio and video files to MP3 players, they can listen and practice English at any time continually. Even they will be very much motivated by creating their own video and posting it on Podcast.

In short, those new tools will surely excite and motivate students as a platform in learning real English with digital natives in various intercultural backgrounds. They can learn and improve their English, interacting and communicating with real people from different areas in the world.
