computer aided language learning

      As a language teacher I quickly noticed that my students loved using computers for language activities.  However, I also saw that there were effective uses of the computer, internet, and technology for language learning and there were less effective methods.  In this paper I will strive to uncover  the best uses of technology in language learning as supported by research and how they are being used by teachers in public education.
