TECHNOLOGY CONSUMPTION AS A TOOL FOR FOSTERING LEARNER AUTONOMY

No one can deny the tremendous influence technology has nowadays. It has become essential in the way we watch films and listen to music, socialise and get informed. This made educators consider using technology at the lessons in order to stimulate students’ intrinsic motivation. For example, students would assimilate better the material if it were presented in the form of a PPT or a poster (using Canva, Padlet or other sources). This kind of presentation addresses both auditory and visual styles. Thus, students are exposed to a variety of different information and they are at a loss. Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is gaining more and more popularity. Thus, teachers should acquire new skills in order to be able to use them and facilitate the students’ learning process.
