Innovations in Learning Technologies for English Language Teaching

This publication offers a different approach to the uses of learning technologies in the language classroom. As a regular classroom teacher you will be able to find lesson ideas to adapt to your own contexts; as a teacher trainer, there is a useful overview of the current state of the art in each of the contexts and a range of practical examples.
Innovations in Learning Technologies for English Language Teaching starts by considering the following contexts of language learning: primary, secondary and adult learners, then different specialist areas: Business English, English for Specific Purposes and English for Academic Purposes, and finally the assessment of language using technology.





 

The Grammar Cracker

The Grammar Cracker attempts to unlock English  grammar rules and practices in a clear, simple manner. Its logical format presents subjects in order of increasing size and scope, from letters to words to sentences to paragraphs to essays, articles, etc. This linear design is now thought to be the best way of acquiring language skills.
In the past, grammar books were set up in a less organized fashion, giving students exposure to a variety of topics indiscriminately. However, recent linguistic studies have shown that language acquisition is a more logical and ordered pursuit than was once recognized. Technology has aided greatly in understanding the mind's ability to analyze and absorb data; computers which measure the development of brain patterns, as new areas of discipline are undertaken, indicate a streamlined process. More sophisticated methods of tracking how people learn are being explored continually, and perhaps better ways to educate will be identified as time progresses. At the moment, however, teaching step-by-step distillation of knowledge is believed to be most effective, especially in the field of language instruction.
