Teaching English Using the New Technologies 
As a matter of fact everybody knows his own language, but it is useful to know 
foreign languages. That is why pupils and students have got such subject as a foreign 
language at school and university. The conveying of language and literature has 
always involved technology, as far back in time as the music, masks, and 
performance materials that supplimented oral story telling and early drama. Of 
course, the printing press, books, and libraries are technologies of enormous impact 
that we now accept as givens for teaching English. More recently film, television, 
radio, and media production was the focus "technology and teaching" courses. In 
2007, using computers in English classes for word processing has had more than a 
generation of practice and research.In the last four or five years dramatic advances in 
computers, in digital memory, in internet resources, in audio and visual transmission, 
in virtual imaging, and in wireless communication have created intiguing new 
possibilities for the use of technology in the teaching of English. Web publishing, 
digital archives, digital video, electronic conferencing, blogging, wikis, podcasting, 
real simple syndication feeds, on-line gaming, virtual reality worlds -- these are the 
potential new tools for teaching and learning English that this experimental course 
seeks to explore. Our approach will be to see the new technologies as evolutionary, 
rather than revolutionary. That is to say, the best of what we think and know about 
composition, literary study, and good teaching needs to be brought to bear as we 
utilize and develop new tools.
Learning about and developing confidence with the new technologies, thinking 
about how to integrate them into meaningful literature, composition, and cultural 
studies teaching is the goal of this course. Our experimental class is project-based and 
attempts to address the interests and needs of the students. As an experimental class it 
calls for unusual flexibility, independence, dedication, and creativity.
