Computers also provide the means to access online dictionaries, grammar and
style checkers, and concordances. On the other hand, if we think of technology as
providing enhanced learning experiences, then the implications are even greater:
Technology is no longer simply contributing machinery or making authentic material
or more resources available that teachers can use; it also provides learners with
greater access to the target language. As a result, it has the potential to change where
and when learning takes place. Furthermore, it can even shape how we view the
nature of what it is that we teach. At first glance, neither definition of technology—
providing teaching resources and providing enhanced learning experiences—would
appear to constitute a method. However, the use of technology for the latter is at least
a significant methodological innovation. As Kern has put it: Rapid evolution of
communication technologies has changed language pedagogy and language use,
enabling new forms of discourse, new forms of authorship, and new ways to create
and participate in communities. (Kern 2006: 183)
A classroom setting with a teacher in front at the blackboard/whiteboard and
with students at their desks reading from a textbook, while still the norm in much of
the world, is giving way to the practice of students working independently or
collaboratively at computers and using other technology, such as cell phones (mobile
phones), inside and outside of classrooms. The new discourse, which students use to
author and post messages online, has features of both written and oral language, and
students participate in online or virtual communities that have no borders. Even if all
their language learning is done in formal learning contexts, learners who have access
to computers have more autonomy in what they choose to focus on. With the use of
technology, students are more likely to use language for: … ongoing identity
formation and personally meaningful communication in the service of goals that
extend beyond ‘practice’ or ‘learning‘ in the restrictive senses associated with
institutional settings. (Thorne 2006: 14)
Technology also allows teaching to be tailored to the individual to a greater
extent than is normally possible. A few Computer-assisted Language Learning
(CALL) programs can even adapt to diverse learners by analyzing their input and
providing customized feedback and remedial exercises suited to their proficiency.
There are also programs that feature computer adaptive testing so that students
respond to test questions at an appropriate level.
Complementing the greater individualization is the greater social interaction
that can result from the ability to link students through networked computers.
Vygotsky claimed that learning takes place through social interaction (Vygotsky
