Using Technology in the Process of EFL Learning 2015.

For centuries foreign language teaching approaches, methods and techniques have been changing because of different factors. Learning a foreign language is a challenging process and students always need motivation and encouragement during this period. Technology might be one of the factors which affects students’ attitude positively in the teaching/ learning process. Adıyaman (2002) defines  one way of technological equipment such as radio, TV, cassettes, CD, DVD and two way of  educational technological equipment used in EFL classrooms like e-mails, computers, interactive radio and television programs, teleconference and internet conferences.

The use of technology brings lot of advantages into the classroom. Students may have a chance to see the real world in the classrooms and they can be motivated easily. Ellis (1994) points out that creating challenging tasks and activities motivate the language learners. Effective language teachers should be enthusiastic and creative because language learners can lose their motivation and desire easily. Movies, music and different materials can help students’ psychological and social improvement. Therefore use of technology, online / distance education may provide a good opportunity to develop and create different, enjoyable tasks in EFL classrooms. Demiray (2009) thinks that distance education has a great potential for global learning and it can offer new and active learning environment for language learners. Usun and Kömür (2009) claim that distance education and e-learning technologies can be used in ELT programs to motivate the students.
