Enabling Interactive and Collaborative Engagements |
|
Communication through e-mail, chats and discussion boards have now evolved into wikis, blogs and podcasting, what we call Web 2.0 generation : telecommunicating and telecollaborating. This has proved to be very beneficial for both teachers and students in different ways: - open new ways for global communication and development of intercultural awareness. - creating blogs promotes ownership of work and encourages exchange of ideas. - can be easily created and then published instantly on the Internet. - empower students to express their own opinions and increases their interest in reading and writing. - enable learners to reflect both on content and language as they write and read at their own pace. - provide potential for collaborative writing through a shared task, as learners assist each other . - they gain confidence in writing and develop their own approaches that suit their personal writing styles. |
