Teaching different language skills using online sites

2. Listening Skill
• Krashen (1989) says that “listening comprehension provides the right
conditions for language acquisition and the development of other language
skills.”
• Vandergrift, (2004), “The recent literature on the L2 listening instruction suggests
that students can benefit from an approach where strategies are taught in an
integrated fashion” (p. 10)

3. What is the integrated approach ?
• “This approach is aimed at showing students that technology is a tool
that they can use to increase their knowledge, improve their
productivity, and to complete complex tasks.”
(Eisenburg & Johnson, 2002).

4. Software for listening

6. In conclusion:
• This software strikes a nice balance, offering teachers
an easy intro to interactive video mixed with a large
set of features that can lead to increasingly
sophisticated lesson design.

7. Writing skill
• “Writing is important because it’s used extensively in higher education and in
the workplace. If students don’t know how to express themselves in writing,
they won’t be able to communicate well with professors, employers, peers, or
just about anyone else”
(Walsh,2010)
• “writing serves many purposes in today’s civic life. In this technological age,
language teaching and learning strategies have moved beyond the
boundaries of the walls of schools.”
(Yunus & Salehi, 2012)
