can interact with learners in ways that books and audio cannot: ✔ Some software records the learner, analyzes the pronunciation, and gives feedback. ✔ Software can present additional exercises in areas where a particular learner has difficulty, until the concepts are mastered. ✔ Software can pronounce words in the target language and show their meaning by using pictures instead of oral explanations. The only language in such software is the target language. It is comprehensible regardless of the learner's native language. ✔ Websites provide various services geared toward language education. Some sites are designed specifically for learning languages: ✔ Some software runs on the web itself, with the advantage of avoiding downloads, and the disadvantage of requiring an internet connection. ✔ Some publishers use the web to distribute audio, texts and software, for use offline. ✔ Some websites offer learning activities such as quizzes or puzzles to practice language concepts. ✔ Language exchanges sites connect users with complementary language skills, such as a native Spanish speaker who wants to learn English with a native English speaker who wants to learn Spanish. Language exchange websites essentially treat knowledge of a language as a commodity, and provide a marketlike environment for the commodity to be exchanged. Users typically contact each other via chat or email. Language exchanges have also been viewed as a helpful tool to aid language learning at language schools. Language exchanges tend to benefit oral proficiency, fluency, colloquial vocabulary acquisition, and vernacular usage, rather than formal grammar or writing skills. ✔ Many other websites are helpful for learning languages, even though they are designed, maintained and marketed for other purposes: ✔ English-medium websites, which learners elsewhere can use as primary material for study: news, fiction, videos, songs, etc. ✔ Speech synthesis or text to speech (TTS) sites and software let learners hear pronunciation of arbitrary written text, with pronunciation similar to a native speaker. ✔ Course development and learning management systems such as Moodle are used by teachers, including language teachers. ✔ Web conferencing tools can bring remote learners together; e.g. Elluminate Live. ✔ Players of computer games can practice a target language when interacting in massively multiplayer games and virtual worlds. ✔ Some Internet content is free, often from government and nonprofit sites such as BBC Online, Foreign Service Institute, with no or minimal ads. Some is ad-supported, such as newspapers and YouTube. Some require a payment. |
