Week 6 Speaking and Listening Online: a survey of internet resources
Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The article Speaking and Listening Online: a survey of internet resources was interesting because encourage teachers to use technology in class, with the use of computers in the class.
Something that surprised me about the idea o using computers in class is that the article mentioned many web sites in which students can practice aula and oral skills in which most of this web sites are free and allows students to interact with native and non-native speakers to, also they can receive feedback immediately for mistakes and correct them.

Technology is one big tool that we should use for teaching second language acquisition, something that made wants to read more about was the idea for using chats for teaching, the article mentioned that we can make groups of chats in which students can interact each other not only with messages if not with audios or videos too, which I think is very useful because they can interact with many others students or also native speakers that can help them improve their grammar and, listening and speaking skills, nowadays most of teenagers use  chat or instant messages for social life but if we give other use for these chats, if we encourage students to use not only or socialize if not for practice their English skills too will help them with the second language acquisition make them feel confident with the language if they use it as a daily routine this could be a good habit that will be helping them with the acquisition of the language.

  1. Hello Veronique, I agreed with you about how teachers can use internet to help their students to improve skills (listening, writing, speaking, and reading). For example, the use of chats helps learners to interact through audios or videos with native people or their classmate. It is possible that students can make asynchronous activities when they are using instant massage in order to get an immediate response. To continue, students could interact with people around the world doing synchronous activities, which do not occur in real time. Finally, internet support students to develop their second language using the most common communicative application learners use every day.
