    This Web site by the Irish polyglot who gave a TED talk about speaking from day one is billed as foreign language and travel hacks. Any brief perusal of social media sites like Pinterest or Tumblr will show that hacks are a popular topic -- life hacks, cleaning hacks, Disney hacks, etc.

      I love free resources and I also love help to remember how to do something "techy". Once I have used a tool several different times, I am good to go. However, the first couple of times, I always need my reference.

    Resource guides to some common digital tools, all in one place!

    I'm all about free resources! I especially like that there is a free Prezi guide b/c my students have to use Prezi for some of their projects, including one on the final exam, and it's tough for them if they have never used it before. That guide could really help in their understanding of how to use this tool.

Computer-Mediated Communication | Foreign Language Teaching Methods: Writing - 4 views

  • Research has shown that CMC: can help increase students' motivation to learn the foreign language, lower their anxiety, increase their fluency in the target language, lead to improved intercultural competence and democratize classroom communication.

      I agree with this author's idea. In my teaching experience using CMC to teach language, I can notice my students' progress i the target language. They express their motivation and even introvert students are more open to share their ideas.
  • Keep in mind that students who study languages with different orthographies may encounter specific difficulties during CMC sessions. Be prepared with creative solutions, such as suggesting computers and keyboards that accommodate the characters your students need.
  •  
    This is a really good suggestion Vivian! It is always nice to have plan B especially when using technology!
  •  
    The author says that CMC helps in all of these areas, but doesn't provide any information about his sources. I think this shows the value of including links to other websites in blog posts about education!
