13. 13 Technology as a friend The use of technology (“interactivity” of language tasks) can be motivating. Learners can proceed at their own space, make their own choices. Learners can get instant feedback on what they have done and personalized assessment. The use of technology in and outside the language classroom can make learners more autonomous.

14. 14 Using ICT with learners gives them practice for real-life ICT contexts. It is possible to develop as the receptive (listening and reading) as well as productive skills (writing and speaking) skills via computer-mediated communication. Keeps the teacher and student learning new skills.

20. 20 Summary Technology is both friend and foe. Technology should fit learner needs – not fit the learner to the technology. Technology is not a panacea that can replace language teachers and F2F classrooms, it is something that can be used to enhance language learning (Sharma & Barrett,Blended Learning,2008).
