New Educational Technologies in Teaching Foreign Languages

A handbook for students and teachers "New Educational Technologies in Teaching Foreign Languages" is supplementary to primary textbooks on a university course, designed for trainee teachers, relatively inexperienced teachers and all educators who are currently working with, or who would like to know more about, information and communication technologies in language training. It includes brief description of the course, entry requirements, course policies and expectations. A major theme of the handbook is how to use technology to enhance course design, lesson planning, presentations, in-class activities, assessments, and students' achievement and engagement. Handbook materials illustrate how to apply technology in three key areas: finding, creating, and sharing content with students; facilitating classroom activities; and assessing learning inside the classroom or online.
