files )

appropriate, if the content is accurate, if the quality of video
is acceptable, etc. )

video fi le to students, including Web links, CDs, local files,
etc.)

31. Technology Enhanced Language learning
The Technology Readiness Level
can be categorized into three groups
teacher level (both extrinsic and intrinsic), school level and
environmental level
For readiness of teachers,
Extrinsic
Background: Education/ training in ICT (Wozney, Venkatesh
and Abrami, 2006)
ICT ownership and experience in using ICT (Meeller et al., 2008)
Gender (Hermans et al., 2008)
Age (Luan et al., 2005)
Teaching experience not important (Mueller et al., 2008)
31
32. Technology Enhanced Language learning
For readiness of teachers,
Intrinsic
teachers’ belief and approach to teaching (Lucas and
Wright, 2009)
intrinsic motivation in technology (Wozney, Venkatesh
and Abrami ,2006)
student-centered approach (Mueller et al., 2008)
Constructivism (Fields and Cox, 2006)
Lack of confidence/ anxious to teach with technology
(Sang et al., 2010)
Willingness to change (Ertmer, 1999)
Limited digital competence (Valtonen et al., 2013)
32
33. Technology Enhanced Language learning
For readiness of school
lack of time (Mukama and Andersson, 2008)
lack of affordances (Butler and Sellbom, 2002)
hardware
software
network/connectivity
unreliable affordances (Demiraslan and Usluel, 2008)
Lack of leadership (ICT) (Dexter, 2008)
training
institutional and financial support/ incentives- infrastructure
initiatives
Lack of ICT culture, collaboration, community of practice
(Trinidad, Newhouse and Clarkson, 2006)
33
34. Technology Enhanced Language learning
For environmental level
policy (Tondeur et al., 2008)
National policies, educational systems
MOE may or may not help (Fullan, 2001)
Social-cultural settings
local community (Somekh, 2008)

37. Alignment of technology and theories
PPP:
• presentation
(introduction of new
material in context),
• practice (a controlled
practice phase) and
• production (activities
designed for less-
controlled practice)
Directed practice
Directed practice

41. Constructivism Theory (Jerome Bruner)
An active process where learners connect new concepts
with their current knowledge and context (readiness)
Knowledge structured so that it can be easily grasped by
the student (spiral organization)
Knowledge designed to facilitate extrapolation and or fill
in the gaps (going beyond the information given)

44. Alignment of technology and theories
Pedagogy must come first before technology (Stockwell,
2018)
Plan your lesson first with principled (using SLA)
pedagogies
See how and what type of technology can be used to
enhance which part of pedagogy
Shouldn’t be the selection of a type of technology by
putting it into the classroom without consideration of
pedagogy
44
Technology Enhanced Language learning
45. Alignment of technology and theories
Example
For classroom-based technologies
Use Google Docs
To do peer review on their writing pieces
Can get peer feedback from several students at the same time on
the same writing platform
Tracked changes
can provide corrective feedback from teachers or even peers
can serve as explicit noticing for SLA learning principle

Technology Enhanced Language learning
46. Alignment of technology and theories
Example
For classroom-based technologies
Use Google Docs
can be used for collaborative writing practice
Students can write together either in classroom or remotely with
the computer
Collaborative exercises
Use the principles of Vygotsky’s social cultural theory of
interpersonal learning with zone of proximal development (ZPD)
