Technology infuses classrooms with digital learning tools, to increase
student engagement and motivation; and accelerate learning.
It always helps shape the learning outcomes of the learners and make them responsible, autonomous and gives them ownership of their work.

Technology also has the power to transform teaching by ushering in a new model of connected teaching. This model links teachers to their students and to professional content, resources, and systems to help them improve their own instruction and personalize learning.
To engage students in the learning process, provide authentic examples of the target culture, and connect their classrooms.

Distance learning programs can enable language educators to expand language-learning opportunities to all students, regardless of where they live, the human and material resources available to them, or their language background and needs. In sum, technology continues to grow in importance as a tool to assist teachers of foreign languages in facilitating and mediating language learning for their students.
