Computer-mediated communication in ELT: Part B

Part B: Reviewing the tools

Find a partner and discuss:

1. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of:

a) Synchronous CMC
b) Asynchronous CMC

You may wish to differentiate between types of CMC (e.g. audio, text, etc.)


2. How do you see them implemented in language learning and teaching?

E.g.
- What, if any, benefits could they add to language learning and teaching?
- Practical ideas for their implementation.
- Can you think of any pitfalls we should look out for?
