However, some teachers are starting to believe that networking sites could actually help
students learn better. In England, a group of educators have thought of an idea to introduce a
new subject called Digital Communications into secondary schools. This new subject would
teach students to read, discuss and plan different types of text. These texts would include
advertisements, podcasts, videos, websites, social networks, wikis and blogs.
Some teachers are very excited about this new subject. Robert Sevitt, a secondary school
teacher, believes that any language study in the modern world should include digital
communication. He said, “Students are interested in digital texts. If teachers want to excite
and interest teenagers, they will need to include these texts in the school curriculum.”
However, many teachers believe that if we start teaching English in this way, students will no
longer study the important skills they need. Nick Seaton is one of them. He said, “Most
youngsters learn about this sort of thing in their own time. It’s certainly not something that
teachers and schools should spend time on.”
If schools in Britain decide to introduce Digital Communication Studies, Facebook, Twitter and
other social networking websites will become an essential part of the school curriculum.
However, the new subject will not completely replace traditional language studies. It will be
offered as an additional subject for students who are interested in taking it.
