21st Century Learning

Hello again!

In this post, I will talk about 21^st century learning. I hope you enjoy it!

We are in the 21^st century, this means we have to keep up with the teaching methods in this era. 21^st Century Learning expects teachers to use technology in the classroom. Teachers should get help from technology in order to teach more effectively. In addition, they should teach 21^st century skills as well. In Kereluik et al. (2013) framework, there are three knowledge categories named foundational, humanistic and meta that teachers should be aware of. By knowing them, the teachers can integrate them into their teaching since these skills have a great significance in learning.

The integration of technology in language learning is significant because it offers many options to the teachers and the students. The traditional way of teaching; however, does not contribute much to the learner. We are now living in a technology-based era. That means we have to use technology in our daily lives to survive. Why not use that technology in our classroom? Especially in learning language, the technological tools can help teachers a lot. Teachers can make their students listen the native speakers of the language, use educational videos, and benefit from many other sources. There are so many opportunities for them!

To sum up all the things I have mentioned above, I think as teachers, we should be open-minded about technology. We should find ways to use it in our classroom. We can make a huge difference with how we teach!

Thank you for reading. See you next time!
