Using ICT in language classrooms

Using ICT in language classrooms

Why is it useful?

That can help make classrooms more interactive and communicative. Each student can participate in the activity and there will be more teacher-student interaction as well as student-student interaction. The activity will be more diverse and interesting as there are a lot of learning materials from all over the world in the internet.

What do we need?

Facilities will be important. One computer for each student at least. Also the class size will be important because one of the benefits using ICT could be the possibility for the teacher to address each student. Less than 15 students might be ideal?

What might be dangers?

Teacher's attention to each student and to student-student interaction will be crucial because students might insult each other or there will be bullying. The accessibility to certain websites should be limited and controlled by the teacher.
