 So we've come to end of the term and our teacher asked us to write a final blog post.  Actually my ideas about technology integration in English language teaching did not change because i always think that it takes a really important place when it comes to teaching a foreign language. But this lesson surely brought me new horizons about the tools we can use or things we can do and they are all so beneficial when both learning and teaching. It taught me lots of websites and how we can utilize them. My favourite task was creating a poster, converting the book we read into a movie. I really had so much fun preparing it because i like creating visual things, especially posters like it. I actually did not like the task "creating an infographic" because i get really bored when it comes to statistic and all of that.  My suggestion is that there can be more websites and tools we can see throughout the term, it may mean more tasks but i'd be more happy to see more tools and l...

This is a great way to improve language skills.
