georgia.adamsY7's curator insight, June 2, 2020 7:58 PM
Thinking of all students capabilities is essential! Educators need to consider the possibility that they may encounter a student with learning disabilities or special needs. Educators, when faced with this situation need to always have a modified assessment plan that is suited to the students learning needs. 
Additionally, a mini-unit needs to be developed for students who have learning disabilities, so that they are able to pass the course, through the use of digital pedagogies.

Ana Maria Montañez's curator insight, April 24, 2018 7:42 PM
I found this article really interesting and meaningful to my professional development in view of the fact that grammar is one of the most difficult language features that students have to deal with. Grammar checkers provide student with a good opportunity to realize their grammatical mistakes during the writing process while at the same time they enhance self-monitoring skills and language proficiency. Three grammar checkers are presented throughout this article: Grammarly, Grammar and Spelling Checker and Language Tool. Among the advantages of these online platforms have we can say that they help, both, students and teachers to check grammar and spelling in different social networks and platforms, they provide suggestions to improve students’ own writing style, and finally they find many errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect. From my personal point of view, these online tools that enhance the quality of grammar should not be overused neither by teachers nor by students since this practice can diminish the ability to be self-aware of grammatical structures, syntax and patterns of the target language.

For learning English it is supposed to be exposed as much as possible to meaningful and real contexts. Virtual Reality (VR) can change dramatically the way people learn english daily, with some hours of real interaction people will feel completely inmersed in a world where English is the communication. People should try this out for getting with new results.

Nowadays, the use of youtube has increase around the world, specially, with the appearance of the "youtubers". For that reason, this article provides 15 different youtube channels for learning English. These channels can be used by teachers and students. For instance, teachers can use content from these videos in order to enrich and vary your lessons, and students can explore this channels in order to expose themselves to native language and authentic material.

This article provides essencial infomation for me as an English teacher in development due to the fact that it exposes 15 different youtube channels for learning English. First, these channels contain different information that I can include in my future lessons. Besides, they have authentic material which sometimes is difficult to find. Finally, these sources give me the possibility to teach English in a different and innovative way.
Germán Yepes's curator insight, August 19, 2018 6:32 PM
I find this article very helpful to all of us who are constantly users of youtube and english learners. Youtube channels are an amazing free source for learning. You can watch videos in your free times, while you are cooking, or doing other things. There are many youtube channels with different methodologies and content, but all of them have the same objective: teaching English.

From my personal experience youtube channels have helped me a lot in learning languages in a fun way, free, whenever you want. I sincerely recommend everyone to use them.
