Recently, the way languages are learned has been greatly influenced by
technology. Both learners and professors are exposed to the Internet daily,
so they can take advantage of it to teach and learn a foreign language.
For this reason, it has become necessary to find ways to blend technology
with language instruction. This paper presents the findings of a study
carried out with students who have been exposed to the use of Facebook
in their English courses. It emphasizes the ways Facebook can be used
as a means to promote learners’ autonomy, and summarizes the results
of the implementation of this experience. |
