Week 2: Integration of ICT tools in the language process

Rate: 4

 Based on the article: "Effectiveness of the integration of ICT Tools and Activities to Foster Awareness as the First Stage to Reach Learning Autonomy" by Andrea Ariaza and Mario Suárez Sánchez.

Every student has the hability to be autonomy, to create a goal and find the way to do it. Also, every person has a different way to learn, and I think that as a human we can create our own way to learn; either using the methods that already exist or creating a new one. The important thing is to learn a new lenguage.

The technology takes an important role when a person wants to learn a new language. Because, it can be used to find examples or exercise that may help in the learning process. In the article is mention that at the moment of teaching a second language is important to know the interest of each student and also the parts in which the student needs a reinforment.



This helps them to make a meaningful learning for students and demonstrate that they can do whatever they want when they propose it to them.

In conclusion, learning a second language is something that needs discipline and the feeling of really want to learn it. This could help everyone to be autonomy and have an autonomistic learning whether we look for a way to make it meaningful and also have the necessary tools that are going to support us that learning process.

Communicate is one of the principal things that humans has to develop, because in this way we transmit all our knowledge or whatever that we want to share with others. There are many ways to communicate, but today, we are going to focus on speaking. When you are learning a second language, you has to develop your speaking skill.
