In-class Discussion on FutureTech

Future Tech

Learning will be more autonomous.
Learning might not take any in any one place.
It can be free life-long learning.
Achieve distance language teaching or on-line learning.
offer more or less equal opportunities for education
Modernizing language learning (up-to date)
Much greater potential for a 'connected classroom' ie the learning doesn't stop at the classroom door.
Enrich the learning style
May increase divide between haves and have nots
No text books are needed.
There might not be traditional classrooms anymore as anyone would have access in the resources any time.
Learning for multiple intelligences applies to learners' different styles
Negative: distract the students.
It can motivate the students by offering the update information.
Easier access to other learner or teaching communities.
We think it will be the basis and drive for changing pedagogical approaches and sprucing them up!
Students may rely on the technologies too much.
Broadens the field of opportunities for language learning and its applications.
It really depends on each context. Take China and Taiwan for example. First, there might not be enough divices in education environment.
Learning and teaching are not any more restricted only in classroom. Students can access knowledge which is available on portable devices.
Make the learning process more motivating.
Less face-to-face communication.
Handouts and coursebooks may no longer be used.
No more boring lessons!!
Secondly, the edu is mostly test-oriented so spending time on the Internet and computers can regarded as a waste of time.
It enables students to communicate in English within the whole world.
Really learner-centered language teaching.
Will enhance interdisciplinary studies.
There might be the danger of how to utilise all this knowledge.
However, it does help Chinese speaking students to be more exposed to authentic materials.
Danger of adapting lesson to technologies than the other way round.
Technology can build up students' autonomy in learning.
They can learn anywhere,not restricted to classroom.
Harmful to physical heath eg. eyes, muscle.
Technology can triger students' motivation.
It makes second language learning process really interesting and learners are highly motivated.
Before engaging students into this tpe of learning, students have to be motivated enough to do this kind of learning outside of class.
Too much overloaded input will add pressure on students' mind which distract students' selection of the valuable information.
Multi-tasking might not be appropriate for variable learning styles. The beginning of another digital gap?
Students are exposed to 'real-life' materials.
If technology reaches the level of AI, maybe we won't have to learn any foreign languages anymore. For example, we can talk in any language.
Overload psycho- cognitive processes- might be too much.
Development of technology awareness and skills becomes available through language learning.
Less teamwork.
Ss are more exposed to authentic language environment.
Technology helps language learners develop more efficient learning strategies.
Technology!
Learners can have access to any materials. Also, learners can listen to an English story while watching 3 dimentional play just in front of...
