Technology and Language Learning

Technology is very helpful for teachers and students in learning process. I think, a cognitive approaches makes a pupils comprehend in meaningful context and help the students to build their knowledge, in this case the student should have a critical thinking to develop their ability or knowledge from the input that they get. A sociocognitive approaches, emphasize in interaction with other people, the students have to practice in communicative learning, not only give a comprehensible input. So, they can share the information or knowledge with others. In my opinion, that approaches above is beneficial in learning process because a learners should be work individual (cognitive approaches) and work with other or involve interaction with others (sociocognitive approaches) .

Computer and a kind of technology that support a learning process have advantages and disadvantages. Actually, the advantages is very useful to make a learning process easier because with the technology the teacher can gives the material more interesting and creative, it makes a pupils not bored. Beside it, advancing a learners get information, a student be able to share the information with anyone, and pupils can studied although they in the outside of classroom. I think, with technology teachers can differ the material in various way based on their creativity and ability. But the teachers should be gives a filter for their students, as a purpose don’t misapply the technology.

In my opinion, as a teacher candidate we need to apply the technology in learning process based on the material, students’ interests, and grade of students. We have to creative to cover the materials with technology.
