Summary of the Presentation
The development of science and technology has been greatly influencing human society in many ways. Education is no exception. Use of technology and multimedia reshape human cognitive structures, and as a result, it affects how we teach and learn. On one hand, technology and multimedia have made great contributions to education, but on the other hand, they have also brought many side effects. For instance, a large amount of web-based and mobile contents often cause confusions and distractions to teachers and learners. In addition, merely using multimedia learning contents does not guarantee student learning. Without sound pedagogy technology-based contents cannot be beneficial to learners. During the seminar, we will discuss how we can effectively use web-based and mobile tools and contents in the EFL classroom. We will also explore diverse methods and strategies to use various tools to get learners involved in language learning.
