Interactive language learning on the web



Learning the language on the web is available to anyone who has an access to the web. And every teacher who want to make her own web page and put exercises, quiz or activity they really need to be attractive and to suitable to the level of the student. There are many advantages to creating the teacher her/his own language learning activities in the web. These advantages include accessibility, renewability and adaptability.  The most problem to create an web page is  the teacher  find it difficult because he/she don't  have the technical  knowledge  to do that and the most of them lack in that. Also, they don’t have the time to learn this new skill.

However, the teacher needs to answer this question to the student before creating online activities.1. What type of computer and browser will they be using? 2. What is the connection speed at which they will be accessing activates?


Another thing that teacher should put in her/his mind is to meet accessibility guidelines for individual with disabilities so those students with special need are not left alone.

All of the student's needs for and teacher technical skills should be considering before design any online activity.  There are many skills the teacher can teach through web like vocabulary practice, grammar lesson, comprehension exercise, reading and writing tasks.

Learning through the web needs a really hard work from the teachers, also, it enjoyable for the student to use it to learning the language.

 
In the other hands, in Saudi schools the teachers don’t use this way of teaching but, we hope they tray in our school to use it with our students.
