For each of the technologies, we will present what it is and most importantly how it is used for the basic language learning activities speaking, writing, listening, and reading. In some cases, we will present best practices and give examples of popular tools. We will collect comments from the participants during the presentation and will discuss them in the final part of the workshop. Participants will have a chance to ask questions and share their experience applying different technologies.
