We have the technology! (YPF14)
Using ICT to enhance primary languages

Therese Comfort & Daniel Tierney

This book is full of ideas to help teachers integrate ICT into language learning throughout the primary school. It explores how the Internet can help teachers to create interesting resources and how websites can be used creatively to stimulate interest and encourage learner independence. We have the technology shows how the interactive whiteboard can be an exciting, enriching and motivating ICT tool and how it can bring storytelling to life. This book presents easy-to-use ways to introduce and consolidate new language and develop reading and writing skills. It also suggests how links can be made between languages and other areas of the curriculum; how to establish and sustain e-mail links; and highlights the benefits of videoconferencing.
