Foreign language teachers
Learn to speak a foreign language
try to get feedback as soon as possible when teaching in the class. Many teachers feel that almost immediate feedback helps to facilitate learning a second language. Researchers suggest that foreign language teachers should use technology to get this instant feedback in the classroom. A secondary benefit of using technology in the classroom is to free up the teacher’s time.
Teacher’s and researchers have been looking for a single solution to get immediate feedback on teaching foreign language students grammar and spelling. A few programs that exist do not correct 100% of the students grammar and spelling. At most, a program may correct 70% of the student’s work.
A program that will give student’s 90% or more of the grammar and spelling corrections would be of great value to the foreign language teacher. Teacher’s anticipate that this type of program would not replace the need for a teacher but rather enhance the teacher’s ability to focus on student’s in different areas.
Let me know what technology you are using in the foreign language department and what works for your school system.
