Interaction and Collaborative Language Learning: Research and Practice.
In many foreign language classrooms, language educators found the use of the digital whiteboard contributing to more interaction in the classroom, but the literature is divided about this potential. By drawing upon the findings of research and practice literature, this paper argues that this interactive potential can be realized by taking into account specific factors related to the whiteboard’s users: educators’ pedagogical views, knowledge, as well as experience and training to technology.

Nigel Harwood
Canterbury Christ Church University College
"Lexical approach’ is a term bandied about by many, but, I suspect, understood by few. What does taking a lexical approach to language teaching mean?
What are the principles and tenets behind a lexical approach?
What problems will teachers have to face if they wish to adopt a lexical approach?"

"Findings from this review study have significant implications for future work. It is apparent from the literature review that technology, when used properly, can have a positive effect on language learning. It is also apparent that the availability and capacities of information technologies have not been fully taken advantage of by language students or educators. To truly capitalize on modern information and communication technologies to significantly improve language learning, a number of issues must be addressed"
