Interactive Language Learning on the Web


        There are so many language learning resources on the internet. Learning via the internet is exciting. There are so many tests on the internet.



Teachers can create their own interactive language learning activities on the internet. I would like to discuss some challenges for teachers who want to design their interactive web based language learning activities. One of the challenges is that many teachers does not know how to use technology, and there are some questions which must be answered by teachers.

 
 
 What type of computer and browser will they use?
 
 
 What is the connection speed at which they will be accessing activities?

 
 

The have to put in minds that also Web pages must be designed for disabled students.

 
 
 
 
 
       Now I would like to address the question of what we can teach on the web. Many things can be taught on the web such as vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

 

Reading and writing skills can also be tough on the web. Games are tools through which a person can learn new vocabulary. Pronunciation can be learnt through listening to native speakers of English talking on the internet.
