DeleteThank you so much for what you give us some kinds of useful programs for study English. Good luck to you for next final text.
DeleteUse of Technology in Language Learning, I believe almost people in the world use a lot of technology around us. For me, I have a smartphone and laptop for learning English. I had some programs that are helpful and useful in English. I don't need to bring dictionary book beside me when I have a new word. I just use the dictionary on my phone. It is an easy and convenient way to learning English. Technology is useful in language learning, it is also helpful in life. For example, we think if the technology things don't appear in life, what do you think? In my opinion, I will lose my time and something. In sum, technology is a good thing in life.
ReplyDeleteYou are the same with me right ? it is very useful and let our life is easily than before a lot,keep doing good at any kinds of program.
DeleteI agree with you. Technology makes us powerful and helps us in our daily lives.
DeleteSmartphones are an asset to us as we now have information of the entire world in our hands. We just need to be careful using technology. It should not be a cause of distraction or misguidance for us.
DeleteYes, that a first reason to know what to make learning not get boring.
DeleteI like your point of view! it makes sense to me, the use of smartphone is really comfortable and nowadays you can check grammar vocabulary in just seconds! I always use my smartphone when I am not sure about how a word is spelled.
DeleteI personally feel that the technology is present in our daily life because the Internet is an indispensable tool for everything that we need to do or search. For example, when I need to search a meaning of a world, I take my smartphone and find out very fast. Usually, in my ESOL classes, I don't undersand something, so I check in my digital dictionary in my cell or my PC. Another reason that technology is helpfull and several apps help to practice and learn English, such as IQonline, Quizlet, Cambridge practice, etc. I believe, that technology is a great tool to study English.
ReplyDeleteI like your opinion.It is very clear,and the same with my ideas ,too.Technology is very useful and necessary for life nowadays.
DeleteI agree with you Nilda! technology is really useful for learning englis and there are a lot of apps or websites which help a lot.
DeleteThe technology in my life began to increase since I am in the United States because of the country I came from that was almost impossible to have. Nowadays I value the use of the technology and the facilities that it provides to the users to solve many problems. From my smartphone or my computer, I can make payments, make the assessments of the school, check my schedule, and make appointments for many places. One of the most important things to which technology has helped me is in my English learning. From the translator of Google, online dictionaries, until many pages to complement my English like MyEnglishlab, Grammarly, Blogger, Writingskillsinteractive of Cambridge, and Quizlet. Undoubtedly, human beings in this century can not get ahead without the help of technology, not only because it makes life easier, but also this is the platform on which we stand, and if we do not know how to interact with it, our development would be limited.
ReplyDeleteI invite all of you that if you do not like smartphones or computers, start to see this as an efficient manner for our language learning. We can navigate through many programs and get help with applications, games and even video training that makes this complicated process of English learning fun and easy.
"Undoubtedly, human beings in this century can not get ahead without the help of technology, ..." I like this sentence.
DeleteThanks for sharing so many uses of technology that have made our lives easy and brought in advancement in this world.
DeleteLearning a new language now becomes easier in this time. What do you thing that makes it as this easy? It is simply the technology. The technology makes learning language so easy and you can find any word what is mean? What is the role of something? What is the synonym of some word? The Internet is one of the most important methods and the easiest one to learn the language because it likes you connects to the all-world. It has a huge of books, articles, researchers and, websites that has a lot of useful things. The smartphones and computers are the main roots to use the internet. They have a lot of applications and what that applications have from good ways to makes you learn. It has a lot of dictionary and translator that helps you know what some word mean by typing it and you don’t need to bring dictionary book with you, all you need is your smartphone or personal computer. You can use smartphones and computers to access to any website to download some book and to read some article. In conclusion, technology is like third hand that helps us out in the everything we need not only the language but in everything we need to know just type it and search.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's true. Many things can be done with smartphone. We don't have to carry books and dictionary
DeleteI like how you call technology as our "third hand" - it indeed helps us in many ways.
Deleteyes, I agree with your opinion, it is helpful to prove your skill.
DeleteSince 2015, technology has become more popular than ever before. Technology helps people in so many fields. Education, for example, is an area which technology is very helpful, and language learning is a specific example. Because we are learning English, so I will share my opinion about the use of technology in this particular topic. First, there are many TV programs. For example, Netflix has a lot of movies or series that can be suitable for learners. More conveniently, TV programs now have subtitles that help a lot. Second, you can learn on your smartphone with many applications. For instance, an application named Duolingo is very good. It teaches pronunciation, meaning, spelling, etc. I would recommend this app to anyone who starts studying English. Vocabulary gaming apps are also great. They help build new words. The use of technology in language learning is uncountable. Everyone should get used to it.
ReplyDeleteCheck these out, too:

Technology advances almost every aspect of human's life. Everything seems to be done faster and easier thanks to the advantages of technology.It helps learners a lot in learning language. Firstly, There are many wonderful apps on smartphones or tablets which enhance learning language skills. They are enable students to get the knowledge and practice it. Secondly, Internet is a great source for students to do practice test such as IELTS or TOELF. For instance, 2 years ago I planned to take IELTS test in the summer. To money and time, I went online and searched pages on Facebook that share the all things about the test. With Internet, I practiced on my own, and I got my expected result. In sum, language learners should take advantage of technology to improve their skills.
DeleteNow today, Technology is involved study for people, it helps life easier.For example, the student does not have to carry the book around but a computer.In my daily study uses the smartphone to research vocabulary and search subject from the class.I use some program Grammarly, Vocabulary and Google translate, these it helpful.For example, I miss understood from my class, and I can research more information to make it cleared.In sum, technology is functional to make life easy.
ReplyDeleteIn view, using the technology in language learning have advantages and disadvantages both. Advantages are that the students can use the technology to enhance the learning strategies. For example, the learner of English Language can find a collection of programs, movies, documentary and educated programs that the students can use to learn the language they want from TV, Smartphone, laptop, tablet, or computer. They are the tool to communicate with all over the world and know the latest news anytime anywhere. Students can always use the internet to get more information on their researches. They can send emails, use voice chat, video chat, GPS, dictionary, entertainments, and others. Besides, there are possible harmful effects of using technology. Students will lose their ability to relate to other people, and they will become dependent on technology to learn. So we should choose the appropriate use of technology to get the most benefits of it. We have to lead the technology but do not let the technology lead us.
ReplyDeleteTechnology has been very useful for learning, not only english but also other topics. It doesn't make sense not to use it, because technology makes easy the process of learning, so we should support on technology and improve our learning process. However, we should be aware and careful on don't depend on technology at the point that if we don't have it, we cannot do anything. If we get to that point, we are overusing technology and depending on it. In sum, use the tools that you have but don't depend on them.
ReplyDeleteIn my point view, the technology very useful way in these days. But It has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they allow people to stay in touch, even over long distances, and they are relatively safe and reliable to use. There are devices that can communicate with a plus at the other end of the planet and get and keeping in touch with other people is very easy.
ReplyDeleteThe disadvantages to this are that it means people no longer need to meet in person as much, and interpersonal relationships are suffering worldwide because people are communicating through a small handheld device. Lots of people have Smartphones and they use them almost semi-continuously, including in public settings when they could be making new friends, and talking/interacting with their current friends.
