Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: Current literature implies that the continuous onset of technology can be beneficial to students no matter the subject matter. However, there is a gap in the research involving the use and positive effects that technology can have in the foreign language classroom. Integrating elements of technology into any foreign language based syllabus can enhance the learning experience by making learning more autonomous and perhaps more importantly, enjoyable for all involved. This paper will summarize current literature in the field of technology and education, blended learning and how these two elements can be combined to make students more autonomous and independent learners. Finally the paper will end with a theoretical framework of the proposed research of the author. This paper will introduce the theoretical framework behind the proposed research for a PhD thesis at the department of Education at Saga University, under the jurisdiction of Dr. Tetsuo Kuramoto.
