My Languages: Motivating Tools for Reading and Writing in the EA... http://t.co/Mz7PNHosNu

Scoop.it paper on Technology & Language Learning

With Globalization making an impact, gone are the days when one could master just a single language. In the past, native speakers of commonly spoken languages, such as English, could go about conducting their international business without any problem.

This book was designed to help language teachers access the potential of new video-based technologies for the purpose of language learning. The book covers a wide range of theoretical aspects but the main focus is on the practicalities of how to use various web-based and mobile applications to create motivating and engaging learning opportunities. The book contains more than 40 step-by-step lesson plans that guide the teacher through classroom and online activities. There are also 26 video tutorials to help teachers with the technical aspects of understanding the technology.

Without clear communication, the whole lot is irrelevant. Imagine being in a foreign country, thousands of miles away from home, where the natives speak a language you barely know.

The Standards-based Measurement of Proficiency (STAMP), a criterion-referenced, Web-based assessment tool, measures students' language proficiency at levels ranging from Novice-low to Intermediate-mid. STAMP currently measures reading, writing, and speaking proficiencies in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. CASLS strives to continually improve STAMP's test design while adding new languages and new levels. STAMP is available through CASLS' partner company, Avant Assessment.
