21C – ESL Students use Tech to Support their Learning

Technological innovations have changed language learning radically from the old-fashioned image of pupils learning lists of verbs out of textbooks. Although language teaching has a long history of using tech, dating back to the 1960s, recent developments such as social networking and easy-to-use video cameras have removed many of the limitations.  (Is technology a silver bullet for language teaching and learning?)

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that one of the most forward thinking and innovative departments in the school is the ESL (English as a Second Language) Department.  Over the last three years, Mr. Hospedales and his team (composed of Ms. Selvakumar and Ms. Corazza) have worked really hard to integrate the use of technology in the classroom.

Read the rest.
