incorporation of technologies within
The incorporation of technology into pedagogical tasks appeals to many
researchers and practitioners ofTBLT as
a potential solution
to the aforesaid problems (Thomas, 2013;
Reinders et al., 2010).
First, research has
documented that with
the use of synchronous
and asynchronous
computer-mediated communication (CMC), learners produce an increased
amount of the TL as a result of lowered anxiety and increased motivation. For
example, Levy & Stock well (2006) have shown how technology-mediated
tasks can extend language learning opportunities
beyond the classroom and create
opportunities for genuineness in
interaction. Beyond providing opportunities for TL use, there is evidence that
the use of technology may lead to higher engagement and L2 interaction. For
example, Yamada (2009) reports that both the number of turns produced by learners
and the number of target expressions increased when they chatted online,
Tawakoni, Lotfi and Biria (2019) have shown how the integration of real-world
texts into classroom tasks led to higher motivation in L2 reading, and Oskoz
and Elola (2014) have demonstrated the
effect of using web 2.0 tools on L2 writing. Higher
levels of engagement
were also found
by Reinders, Lakarnchua
& Pegrum (2015). When
learners were asked
to create an augmented reality campus tour, the real-world outcome of the project led to increased interest and engagement. Lastly, freeing learners from the physical constraints of the
classroom setting, technology-mediated TBLT practices (e.g.,
asynchronous CMC namely forum, email, blog) allow more time for learners to
process their language output before sharing it, which in turn encourages
learners to produce more grammatically accurate and complex language (Reinders,
Lakarnchua, & Pegrum, 2015). The increased processing time enables learners
to proofread and self-correct their language output and raises their attention
to various linguistic features in
online communicative contexts, such
as in digital games (Reinders &
attana,2015).
Tics in the curriculum
Gros (2000), points out that curricular integration of technologies is to use ICTs regularly in classrooms for various tasks such as writing, obtaining information, experimenting, simulating, communicating, learning a language, designing all of this in a natural, invisible way. beyond the mere instrumental use of the tool and felt at the level of innovation of the educational system (p.2)
Computer assisted language
learning
Computer-assisted language learning, known as CALL for its English acronym (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) and also known as EAO for its acronym in French (Insignemente Assisté par Ordinateur), is defined in Levy's seminal work (1997 Pag 1) as “the search and study of computer applications for language learning and teaching”
CALL. it is, essentially, a tool that helps teachers to facilitate language learning. It can be used to reinforce what has already been learned in the classroom or as a remedial tool for students who need additional assistance
