Presentation to teachers at the ULearn08 conference in Christchurch, October 2008. I discussed young people's use of technology outside school and how we can adopt these technologies and practices in the classroom, with particular reference to key competencies and web 2.0 or social software. The presentation includes examples of student work using software found on the website http://softwareforlearning.tki.org.nz.

GENERAL IMPACTS OF INTEGRATING ADVANCED AND MODERN TECHNOLOGIES ON TEACHING E...IJITE
Technology has always played a key role in General and ESP (English for Specific Purposes)language learning and teaching. Currently the range of technologies being used in classrooms all over the globe for Language Learning and Teaching (LLT) has become very diverse, and some which have become central to language practice are briefly described in this paper. Since English is the most commonly ‘learned’ and ‘taught’ second/foreign language around the world, this paper intends to explore how advanced and modern technologies are used to support the process of English language teaching and learning for those at various stages of education. Furthermore, it presents and compares some of the innovative and novel approaches that are being explored and applied in order to improve methods of English language development and satisfy the current needs of the young generation in a highly competitive world.

Exploring the modern and foreign in languages
1. Exploring the Modern and Foreign in Languages 26 th March - Language World 2010 www.joedale.typepad.com [email_address]
2. The Rose Review (2009) ‘ “ it will become increasingly important to command ICT skills to prepare for technologies of the future. The foundations for this engagement are best formed in primary schools, where children’s enthusiasm for ICT is evident. Moreover, we must avoid raising a population divided between ICT ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’, because this would pose a considerable threat to both economic wellbeing and social cohesion.”
3. The Importance of ICT (2009) “ In the schools visited, students almost always enjoyed working with ICT and were well engaged by tasks that enabled them to do so. Using ICT contributed effectively to their personal development. In sharing ideas, it helped to develop the skills of working independently and cooperatively. ICT was particularly successful in motivating disaffected boys and improving their attitudes to learning, for example through giving them opportunities to record podcasts in modern foreign languages.”
4. Evaluation schedule of judgements for schools The quality of teaching and the use of assessment to support learning Inspectors should take into account the extent to which : appropriate use of new technology maximises learning (September 2009)
5. The safe use of new technologies Blocking pupils' access to unsuitable websites does not encourage them to take responsibility for their safety online (February 2010)
6. Impact of ICT and New Media on Language Learning “ Social networking shunned as aid to language teaching” Major EU study reports Europe-wide failure among specialists to capitalise on student enthusiasm for new technologies. Language teachers are failing to take advantage of social networking and even see the phenomenon as a threat to their classroom authority, according to a major international report. (TES March 2010)
7. Northgate 'outstanding' in ICT & MFL “ The school has pioneered a number of innovative ways to improve language learning. These include the use of podcasts, a language college blog and a wiki system. The blog contains many ideas and resources on language teaching and receives about 150 hits per week, approximately half of which are from students and half of which are from other schools, including some from abroad. The wiki system enables students to store their work online and staff to check and mark it. It also enables students to communicate rapidly with staff about language learning. The college has also begun to use a social networking service to remind students about coursework deadlines.”
