PADLET - A Colloborative Language Teaching and Learning Tool

Abstract

Technological sophistication is a significant and promising force for increasing efficiency in education more so in English language teaching and learning. In the past, most teaching was either verbal communication between the teacher and students or written communication from printed materials. These communication channels continue to play important roles in the teaching-learning process even today, though students are learning from pictures, television, recorded lessons and other media. Today, almost all educational institutions around the world use some form of technological media in education. Most technological devices and programmes are prepared to suit the needs of the teacher, students and their learning conditions. The present article discusses the role of ICT in improving the four language skills of engineering students.
