TECHNOLOGY IN THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSROOM: CHALLENGESFunding.High Expenditure for low results.Technology is science driven & fast changingAcculturation for students and teachers.Time consuming modifications or preparationDifficult to assess (or time consuming)No single standard
Little and slow available support. We are now required to be computer technicians.
OUR SCHOOLS MUST CONSIDER THATPreparation, use and acquisition of online materials requires a lot of time, labor, and money;Not everything can be done better by computers Is not always easy to remain in an exclusively target-language environment on the World Wide Web due to the astonishing penetration of English as the default online language;Not everyone reacts to computers the same way (some embrace it enthusiastically; some would rather have a root canal);There is so far little hard evidence showing the benefits of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in general.Source:http://www.trinity.edu/mstroud/technology/CALL.html
