The article highlights the importance of integrating technology and language learning. The author mentions that students can develop their language skills by engaging apps which include differents games. The first app, which is called Kids' Vocab, is a tool for helping children increase their vocabulary. New words are presented by categories and learners can practice them by playing games. The second application is called EF high flyers, and it enables language learners to practice new vocabulary by the use of flashcards. This tool includes audio, images and quizzes. The next app is Flashcardlet and is similar to the previous one in that students can practise vocabulary through flashcards. And, the last app is called Futaba, and it is targeted to younger learners since they learn by playing games. This tool includes visual material so students can interact by matching pictures with definitions. |

Learning through film is a great way of improving listening and pronunciation skills and is above all, fun. |
Youtube is considered such a great tool in the development of oral skills. It is very easy to use it, and students feel more interested and motivated in learning through the use of this technological tool.
Youtube became so common among our students and they became familiar with it. So, what about using it in the classroom? Look to this experience at the Lakeview Elementary School in Yukon.
It brings a little of a classroom to call the user´s attention.
