"Focus has to be placed on learning with the technology rather than

learning from or about the technology, with the help of hypermedia (e.g.
World Wide Web), multimedia becomes a more powerful tool for language
learning, one of the advantages of using hypermedia for language teaching
is that it provides learners with a more authentic learning environment, as,
for example, listening can be combined with seeing”.
Kajder (2003)
THE I D E A OF TE ACHI NG W I TH TE CHNOL OG Y

" Technology may just be the hidden treasure needed to facilitate

learning as well as forming a positive connection between the teacher
and students in the ELT classroom. ...as computers have come more a
part of our everyday lives - and permeated other areas of education -
the question is no longer whether to use computers but how.“

Hubbard cited by Coskun, A & Marlowe, Z.(2015)
