Hello all! I hope you’re doing well. Without further ado, I will jump to the point.
In this upcoming text, we are going to discuss what is 21st-century learning and why is it important in the field of language acquisition.
WHAT IS IT?
21st Century Learning is the progress of a learner’s skill in the field that one is studying, and this improvement is aimed at the future. Because people are living in a digital time of the period, this development is occurring within a technological and virtual environment.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
21st Century Learning is important and continues to exist because it prepares the learners for the upcoming future and its innovations. Besides, via this learning approach, language learners can interact and work with people from foreign countries. The more they interact with each other the faster they improve their perspective and vision that they need to be successful in a world that constantly changing.
If you have acknowledged what it is and its importance in a way, I would like to state my opinions as a teacher candidate.
I am aware of the fact that technology can be dangerous sometimes. Although, when we consider the period that we are living in, there is no way to be isolated from the digital world. As opposed to former ages, people use technology a lot and as an upcoming teacher, I do not see a reason not to use its benefits in the field of language learning.
It has benefits to students more than disadvantages. Technology enables a whole different resource for learners to search. Unlike in the past, they do not have to spend many hours to find a piece of information or skim an encyclopedia/book. They just need one click to reach whichever information they need. They can even compare the data they have found and choose the one which is better. Besides, this variety helps them improve their critical thinking abilities.
Anyway, I do not want to bore you with more reading. You have already done enough! This text is my first product and I hope you enjoyed it so far! Let me know if you have anything you want to add or share with me. See you in my upcoming writings!
