Learning other languages and
understanding the cultures of
the people who speak them
is vital to success in
the global environment in which
our students will live and work
The goal of a language program is
to develop
students' language proficiency
around modes of
communicative competence
reflecting real life communication
Web 2.0 applications
can help students
develop language proficiency
and enhance 21st century skills
while making learning
more enjoyable
and meaningful for them

Why Teachers Need to
Integrate Technology into
Learning
• Technology motivates learners
and connects them to their

• Learners want to create content,
not consume it
• Learners already use it!
