Week 2: Learning autonomy process with ICTs

Rate: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Something that really, I liked from this article and catched my attention was the information about the use of technology as a tool for learning process, there are many online resources that can be used to teach language and what the article encourage is to make use of it. The article encourages to use technology to help students to practice on their own, to have a routine in which they dedicated some time to practice at home and make the students be autonomous.

Something that made me want to read more, was about to promote the student’s self-evaluation and self-monitoring, with the use of technology students can exercises online and evaluate themselves, making students be independent and do not staying just hat the teacher explained on class. Students that practice on their own have a better acquisition of the language and get more interesting to learn or asked in class for any doubt.

Also, teachers can identify the students’ needs by asking their questions or doubts because they show their interesting and teacher can take advantage of it including extra information about what they have practice on. I really agree with the idea to make students be more independent and exercise and evaluated on their own, teacher needs to be guide for students and which they come and asked for many doubts but if they practice on their own and do not stay just what the teacher explain on class the learning will be easier and more complete.

My reaction about Computers and language learning: an overview


I want to start saying that this article changed my mind about learning processing, technology has increased and talking about language learning, there many ways to learn throw a computer. What I really like about the article is the information of many ideas of multimedia programs and exercises that can be found on the web for the used to language learning. something else that I want to point about the article is that encourage us as a teacher to use different techniques that can be used with the technology to teach languages and how technology can simplify us the job of teaching languages if we make a good use of it.

on the other hand, I also want to say that was a little bit confused to understand because of the references that appears on every paragraph on the article, which made got lost of the idea while I was reading.

Reading at this article I could realize how useful and important the use of technology could be for teaching a language the article pointed that technology is very good tool to teach in which we can also create our personal program our evaluations to help our students practice the language throw a computer or mobile device, by using technology to teach the practice could be also funnier if as teachers we use animations our games to help students practice while having fun.

The article remarked the importance of technology for learning process and gave ideas and reasons to take advantage of it.
