These days many countries have been trying to apply for language learning in the classroom. New software, machines, and computers had been invented over years, it does give such an opportunity to apply it to enhance learning quality. Computers can be applied for teaching in language class. There are four ways to implement it among other are use only one computer in class, teaching in the computer network room, self access learning and distance learning.
Some electronics stuff could support computers using like PDA, mobile phone or Ipod. With PDA students could learn new phrases, in connection with internet to search any information needed and watch videos. While mobile phone could use text messages to achieve subjects materials. What is in now is Ipod, it is said as new version of PDA. Students could easily learn languages, such as English, Spanish, France, and etcetera. They could use it for searching vocabularies, pronunciation learning, and test their understanding with doing some quizzes available.
In Japan distance learning become so popular. You do not have to attend the class when you can watch your teacher giving explanation right from your phone in Shinkansen. Some websites are also dedicated for learners. There are drills and exercises, course content, and discussion forum, which will help you learn. It helps students become self access learners and tandem learners at the same time.
There are many things that should be matter on developing visual and content design of the web for learners. Like brevity, comprehensibility, legibility, consistency, etcetera. We have to pay attention to those things because learning from the computer is not the same with learning in the classroom.
Pedagogy first and technology second, the one who should control technology using in the class are teachers. With good quality content and good pedagogical support, technology could help teacher to reach the learning objectives.
