Using ICT and collaborative tools in language teaching can help make language learning more engaging, motivating and creative for students. Teachers can use tools like wikis, blogs, podcasts, videos, voice threads and edmodo for students to collaboratively work on projects, share content, and provide feedback to each other in the target language. These tools allow students to communicate using speaking, writing, listening and reading both online through websites and apps, and offline through multimedia documents and activities.
