Why teachers need to integrate technology into

their teaching?

www.actfl.org

American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages

• Technology motivates learners and connects them to their passion.

• Learners want to create content, not consume it.

• Learners already use it.• Technology authentically connects

students to the world.• Technology will be a part of any learner’s

future: both personal and in the world of work.

Guidelines for Using Technology

www.actfl.org

American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages

• Use technology when it truly enhances and impacts student learning.

• Integrate technology into a well-designed lesson or unit: aligned with standards, clear outcomes and purpose and supported with appropriate assessments.

• Put the tools in the learners’ hands.• Make sure that the learners have a real

audience-more than just the teacher.• Always have a backup plan.
