Before reading the article “Computers
and language learning”, I had never read
about different techniques and methods of using technology to
teach a new language; so for me before reading this, students
acquired the language with old strategies. but now I overturned my
mind, especially because I realized that with this tool we us
futures teachers have the opportunity to use the computer in different
ways at the time to teach our classes . Especially because we can
make different extra ordinaries activities to make, students have a different
learning process.
Furthermore, with a computer
students might be able to handle different types of of tools to improve their
skills and practice the ones, which are the most difficult for them, forgetting
about the old methods like memorizing concepts, and coping just the concept
without practicing. Another thing is that the call
program has become a big help to improve the writing
process for the students because computers have adding
spectaculars tools to make better pre-writing, and spelling
using a diversities of dictionaries online, translators, and a lot of spellings
programs. Therefore, this is a help for the student’s to practice their
grammar, spelling and writing. Besides this, with the technology, teach different
tools to teach in a different way with an amanganzy innovation form which might
help students to learn in a different way.

However, I think that it would be a good idea for us like futures teachers to let our students do assessments in order to make them think if the material and the activities that we might be using in our classes are being useful or useless for their performers. Besides this, I consider that teachers are required to motivate students to continue working on things that are not working well or have defiance, and give them all the necessary tools to improve the areas in which they have dificulties to learn.Fortunately, with the tecnology students have the opportunity to have a better learning process because with it they can find differents type of exersises to practice more and more with a lot of activities. For the teachers will also be a help because they might create some extra activities in a different way In conclusion, From 1 to 5 I would rate this article with 5 because I think Students are required to discover what things, they have to do to improve their learning process and identify what is the best way for them to learn.
In my opinion developing, the listening skill has been difficult for students during years, especially because this skills has not been taught with innovate meths. Therefore, this skill struggle students at the time to understand and analyses the audios, and if the teachers do not change the way to teach this , it will continue being difficult to develop this skill for the students. However, something that calls my attention about the article was the new method to teach that has been created to make students to understand real conversations and difficult words in the listenings. Unfortunately, teachers rarely uses this meths because they still believe that with their old techniques such as using old cassettes and making students fill out their books, they are helping their students to understand better the audios. When there are other exceptional tools such as podcast to use in which students can practices their listening in a better way.
Therefore, If I get the opportunity to teach listening, I would like to do it with podcast instead of using cassette because with podcasts I may help my students improve their listening faster, and it might help them to communicate to each other from others countries.
To conclude, I consider that including podcasts in listening classes, students are allow to learn with pleasure forgetting old strategies that teachers used to use in their classes.
