Asian language teaching and learning ­ the influence of technology on students’ skills in SL classroom

E-learning/teaching tools have been around for quite some time now. Although reports show many of their positive sides in educational environment, still we have more teachers who do not use these tools for their classes than those who do. Ever since computers have been introduced to the teachers, they have, for different reasons, underused its power as a valid educational tool. Due to the fact that we are living in the 21st century, it is valid to ask if we, as educators, are depriving our students of needed knowledge. Are we failing to educate a 21st century student? When it comes to teaching a foreign language with e-tools, things seem to be even more complicated. It was in the 18th century that Alexander von Humboldt suggested that the language cannot be taught but that one can only create conditions for learning to take place. Three centuries later, deep into the digital era, it seems that we are still not recognizing the power of technology and its usage for creating such language learning oasis.
