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.

  1. I really agree with you because the work is not only the teacher, If not also of the student, because not only must be with what he saw in the class, if not also partica at home since there are many websites where the students can practice and put it in practice with classmates or friends. By doing this the student can self-monitor and be self-evaluating and see if he really learned the topic seen in class, If the student even reviewing at home in the different websites has some doubt can ask the teacher the next day.

  2. I really like you entry for this week and I agree with the point that remarked about the autonomy. I consider that students are to develop independence, they need to be given the space in which to act as autonomous learners, they need freedom. However, this does not mean that to develop independent learning skills students simply need to be abandoned. Rather, a safe learning structure needs to be constructed that provides training, support and guidance from tutors and peers. The key challenge is the balance between freedom and structure. For example, if we as teacher leave our students work on their own without supervision they might get lose and the learning process will not be effective.
