It is a wonderful topic to read and explore as I've learnt more about the five learning goals including active and creative mastery, autonomous learning , collaborative learning, corss cultural learning, and critical learning are essential components to keep mind for any classroom related to English language teaching. They are closely linked to goals that can assist teachers to introduce the internet into teaching.
The author draws our focus to wide range of teaching guidelines as they can lead us to organise classes to reach the above goals. They comprise of dual immersion as students engaged in learning language skills and technology at the same time and the teacher on the other hand provides the structure and support required (Beckman, 1999). Integration can aid the dual immersion to reach its aim if it is well integrated into the curriculum in which computers and other related technology will act as a platform to enrich the workplace for accessing resources and using them in language learning learning effectively. Project- based learning as students can embark on a project, add value by gaining in creating their own learning objectives and utilising the interentas resources to achieve these goals. Student -centred learning as curriculum and subject provided will tailor-made to fit student's needs and teacher needs to provide guidance related to project organisation and offering language specific instructions required during the project activites. Lastly learning with a purpose as students seek to learn with meaningul purpose to gain the required knowedge and make the right choice for them.
