Ponencia: Technology and motivation in language teaching
Technology has played a major role in education since the middle of the 20th century, and the use of technology has only increased in recent years. There used to be a sense that technology was inherently motivating in itself, but many teachers have discovered that this is not true. Since motivation is essential for language learning and because technology has become so integrated into all aspects of life, it makes sense that we understand how they work together. In this session we look at the role technology has in our learners’ motivation and some practical advice on how to make best use of technology in language teaching.
