Classrooms and language learning have changed significantly over time. Traditional classrooms are being replaced by more collaborative and technology-enabled learning spaces that aim to make language learning more fun. New approaches include collaborative learning, increased use of educational technology both inside and outside the classroom, and online or homeschooling options. While class sizes may be larger, innovations allow for more flexible and engaging language education in the 21st century.
